Catch The Bouquet At Regional Premiere Of OUR SON'S WEDDING

Get ready to catch the bouquet with the regional premiere of OUR SON'S WEDDING by Donna de Matteo, in Florida Studio Theatre's Gompertz Theatre.

OUR SON'S WEDDING will have preview performances on July 6 and July 7.  The play will run through Sunday, August 7. Single tickets are priced $29 - $32 and can be purchased online at
www.floridastudiotheatre.org or by calling the box office at (941) 366-9000.

Our Son's Wedding is a family comedy where the past meets the present. An Italian-American plumber (played by Paul D'Amato) and his wife (played by Marina Re) have arrived at their son's wedding (Michael Kevin Baldwin) to another man (Gil Brady). Complications ignite in a humorous story of a family that needs to let go of the past and look toward a new beginning.

FST will present the regional premiere of Our Son's Wedding. The new play had its world premiere at Gloucester Stage Company, and went on to a recent run at Lake George Dinner Theatre in New York. New York actress Marina Re returns to FST as the wife, Mary, after appearing as the mother in both The Miamians and Boleros for the Disenchanted. She also appeared in Our Son's Wedding
at Lake George Dinner Theatre and Gloucester Stage in the same role. Marina's husband, actor Paul D'Amato, will join her on stage in what will surely be a chemistry filled portrayal of the couple Angelo and Mary Lo Presto.

New York actor Michael Kevin Baldwin, most recently seen in Shear Madness at FST, will appear as the son, Michael, after appearing in the same role in Lake George Dinner Theatre's production. Gil Brady, who was recently seen in I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE during FST's Winter Mainstage season will play the fiance, David.

Marina Re, Paul D'Amato, and Michael Kevin Baldwin return to the stage together after appearing in the Lake George Dinner Theatre production in 2010. Marina said, "I have cherished doing this play. It makes people laugh and it makes people cry. The audience connects with this family and to their struggles. And what has been the most amazing part is that I have watched it open peoples' minds
and hearts. I truly believe this is a play that needs to be seen and done, and I have been on a one woman mission to accomplish that ever since!"

Accomplished director and actress, Janet Mitchko, will direct the production at FST. Ms. Mitchko is the Associate Artistic Director at The Public Theatre in Maine. Marina Re said this of Ms. Mitchko's work: "Janet Mitchko does everything right. She concentrates on the relationships. She makes each moment real and honest, and nothing is done just to get a laugh. She speaks the language of actors, being an actor herself. With this cast, this director, this play, and this theatre... I have no doubt that it'll be a marriage made in heaven."

All 3 shows of the Summer Season - Cowgirls, Our Son's Wedding, and The Savannah Disputation - will be presented at both FST's Keating Theatre and Gompertz Theatre. Single tickets range from $19 for previews to $29-$34 for regular performances. A subscription to all 3 plays of the Summer Season ranges from $29-$42. Both subscription tickets and single tickets may be purchased
from the FST Box Office in person or by calling (941) 366-9000 or online at www.FloridaStudioTheatre.org. FST's website is also an excellent source for videos, articles and information about FST's productions.
