Little Theater of Mechanicsburg announces auditions for the hilarious farce, There Goes the Bride, March 8 and 9 at the theater at 7:00 PM. Performances are evenings at 8:00 PM April 24, 25, May 1, 2, 8 and 9 with matinee performances at 2:30 PM May 3 and 10.
Critics describe this show as “a fiendishly clever farce that gets madder and funnier as it goes along.” There Goes the Bride” is set in London at the home of a bride on her wedding day, and takes place just about in real time. Judy Westerby, the bride, and her mother, Ursula Westerby, are ready to go to the church, and the cars that will take them are waiting, but the father, Timothy Westerby, an advertising executive, is late getting home. And when he does get home, he is so preoccupied by a campaign idea that has just struck him — using 1920s flappers to advertise women’s underwear — that he finds it hard to turn his mind to the wedding.
Director Bob Casey is looking for an energetic cast including:
