MALIBU PLAYHOUSE Presents MARY'S WEDDING

"Mary's Wedding" premiers January 28 - February 21, 2016 at the Malibu Playhouse, officially launching their 2016 season under the helm of Jeremy Skidmore, world-renowned theater director and formerly Artistic Director of Theater Alliance in Washington, D.C. Written by Stephen Massicotte and performed by Hallie Cooper and Mark Jude Sullivan, "MARY'S WEDDING," produced and directed by Skidmore, is a brilliant, romantic and historical dream play. When Mary and Charlie unexpectedly find one another sheltered in a barn during a thunderstorm, a tentative love is born. But the year is 1914, and their first flirtations ignite right as World War I begins to engulf the western world. Nevertheless, their bond begins to fracture the hard rules of time as their story unfolds across vast prairies, on the decks of silently sailing war ships, and entwined with the chaotic trenches of Europe's no-man's land. Mary's Wedding captures an extraordinary moment of innocence and courage with rare sensitivity and beauty.

Skidmore blazes the trail as inaugural Guest Artistic Director with programming through June 2016 that brings a variety of expertise and fresh artistic vision.The 2016 season will include two more limited-run critically acclaimed productions: "Einstein's Girl" and "The Pavilion." Other projects include several one-night benefits, a multi-disciplinary new work mini-festival, collaborations with area universities, and Members Only promotional events (i.e. private dinners with Skidmore and cast members, private cocktail parties and "meet and greets"). Actor/icon Dick Van Dyke is the Executive Creative Producer of Malibu Playhouse.Website for tickets: http://malibuplayhouse.org/marys-wedding/
