EMMA'S WEDDING(S) Will Make World Premiere at Purple Rose Theatre Company
Playwright Carey Crim's new comedy closes out Purple Rose Theatre Company's 35th anniversary season in Chelsea, Mich.
The Purple Rose Theatre Company (PRTC) has announced the final production of their 35th anniversary season, “Emma's Wedding(s)” a world-premiere comedy by Carey Crim. Tickets are on sale now.
Emma is getting married. Again. For the fourth time, actually. But she's determined that this one will be the one. Gathering her less-than-enthusiastic best friends, they revisit each of Emma's previous weddings, leading to a hilarious romp through the decades, complete with '80s hair, dial-up internet, Boone's Farm wine and the enduring power of friendship. You may recognize outdoor campers Emma, Robyn and Sallie Ben from our 2024 hit summer comedy “What Springs Forth.” “Emma's Wedding(s)” is a standalone story that will appeal to fans of the original as well as welcome new audiences.
This production of “Emma's Wedding(s)” contains adult content and may not be suitable for children under the age of 13.
Other Purple Rose plays from playwright, Carey Crim, include “Growing Pretty,” “Wake,” “Some Couples May...,” “The Spring Comedy Festival,” “Morning After Grace,” “Never Not Once” and “What Springs Forth.” “23 ½ Hours” premiered at Bay Street Theater starring Sarah Paulson, was nominated for an Ovation award in LA for best new play, recently opened to critical acclaim in London and Warsaw and will tour in Italy in February. “The Islanders” premiered at Shakespeare and Company and is slated for more. “Wake” is now a feature film starring Jo Koy. “Morning After Grace” continues to be produced at regional theaters all over the country and is currently running in repertory in Poland.
