Imagine a world where in order to "undo" the tying of the matrimonial knot, the ceremony has to be re-enacted ... in reverse. Playwright Holly Arsenault creates such a world of divorce drama in her dramedy, Undo. Joe and Rachel Pfeiffer are getting divorced by running their wedding, in all its details, backwards. The exception? Instead of food, there's liquor, and all things spill out!

Directed by Kim St. Leon, Undo will feature Candace Caplin, Todd Bruno, Ann Marie Olson, Michael Gioia, Gladys Ramirez, Ben Sandomir and Carbonell - Award winning actress Margot Moreland. Parade's Artistic Director St. Leon says, "What drew me to Undo is that it is the ultimate 'conscious uncoupling' with lies, truths, love, sex, revelations, laughter and grief during one big ceremony. What more could any director want!"

Playwright Holly Arsenault adds, "There's a serendipity that borders on spookiness due to the fact that Undo will have its second production in Boca Raton. I dedicated the play to my three grandmothers, one of whom, Hinda Wachtel, lived in Boca Raton the last 30 years of her life. She never got to see the play, but she loved theatre and, as I wrote the play, I was always thinking about what would make her laugh. So, it makes me feel really good to know that people in her community will get to see the play and laugh at these jokes that I wrote for her."

Arsenault is the recipient of the 2013 Theater Puget Sound Gregory Award for an Outstanding New Play as well as the 2014 Seattle Theater Writers Gypsy Rose Lee Award for Excellence in Local Playwriting.

Undo opens tonight, January 29th (previews on the 29th) and runs through March 1st, 2015 with performances Thursday through Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m. Ticket prices are $35 ($30 for groups of 15 or more). The Studio at Mizner Park is located at 201 Plaza Real, Second Floor, Boca Raton, FL 33432.
