Flat Rock Playhouse Presents ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID

Coming up this month at the Flat Rock Playhouse, the 2018 season continues to fill the stage with comedy, wit, and feel-good entertainment with Always a Bridesmaid. Celebrating the success of the 2017 production of The Dixie Swim Club, Flat Rock Playhouse will bring audiences another comedic hit from the same writing team: Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones, and Nicholas Hope. Always a Bridesmaid tells the story of four high school friends who promise to be in each other's weddings while they enjoy their Senior Prom. This rollicking comedy captures all the joy, drama, love, and pandemonium of the classic wedding experience while highlighting the difficulties and rewards of maintaining lifelong friendships. Audiences can expect a heartwarming evening of laughter that is sure to last with Always a Bridesmaid, running August 24th to September 9th at the Flat Rock Playhouse Mainstage.

Always A Bridesmaid will feature Janie Bushway as Sedalia Ellicott, Emily Fink at Kari, Aleisha Force as Libby Ruth, Tauren Hagans as Deedra, Marci Reid at Charlie, and Angie Schworer as Monette.
