Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater Presents ONE SLIGHT HITCH, 7/27

As their daughter's wedding day descends into a riotous farce, Doc and Delia Coleman rediscover their marriage and their souls in Lewis Black's One Slight Hitch, opening at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater July 27. Black, the popular political comedian featured on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart brings us an astonishing script that has been called a cross between The Philadelphia Story and Noises Off.
