This is a new comedy about a culture clash that nearly derails an impending wedding

Seeking:

Father:

late 60s), the patriarch of an old WASP family, steeped and stuck in its traditions (who also happens to be dead);

Curtis:

(late 40s-50s), the father of the groom, Teddy, and son of “Father,” a nice guy who is caught between generations and value systems;

Mimi:

(mid-40s-early 50s), Curtis's attractive wife, who is much more progressive in her thinking than her husband;

Elsie:

(20s), Mimi and Curtis's helpful daughter;

Teddy:

(20s), the groom, a basket case of indecision on the eve of his wedding.
