Wedding Party (Or, Why You Shouldn’t Invite Former Friends To Your Wedding) at The Actors Company

Wedding Party (Or, Why You Should Not Invite Former Friends To Your Wedding), is a charming and bittersweet romantic dramedy making its World Premiere at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

Ximena is getting married to the perfect man in her dream wedding in a freaking castle in the South of France. Everything is exactly what she’s dreamed of since she was a little girl and yet… not everything is perfect because four key people in Ximena’s life are missing: Sandy, her best friend from high school, Citlali, her former roommate, Mariana and Gabriela, her girl squad from her 20’s. Ximena wishes they could all be part of her bridal party so she embarks on a journey to rekindle these relationships and heal the wounds that drove them apart. The hilarious and heartbreaking 90-minutes dramedy tackles female friendship break ups, which – as any woman can attest – are more painful and harder to get over than romantic breakups.

Through quippy dialogue and funny, unexpected twists and true emotion, the play dives deep into platonic love, romantic love and the greatest love of all, self-love.

Off-Broadway’s Eco Village’s Arianna Williams and newcomer Ryan Jaske (E4 Mafia) star as Ximena and her fiancé Jason, with Daniela Azuaje (AMC’s “Mayans MC”) as “Sandy”; Jocelyn Marie (Amazon’s Jason Katims series “As We See It") as “Citali”, Rocio Ibarra (Call of Duty: Black Ops 6) as “Mariana”; and newcomer Carlie Meyers as “Gabriela”.

Written and directed by award-winning playwright and former Netflix and CBS development exec, Adriana Martínez Barrón, winner, second place, 2025 Loud Karma Emerging Women and Nonbinary Playwright’s Award for her show “I Hope You’re Having Fun In Hell, Dad)”.
