Cañada College Theatre Arts Presents The Late Wedding
Tue, 8 October, 2019 at 9:47 am
The
Cañada College Department
of Theater Arts presents The Late Wedding,
by Obie Award winning local playwright Christopher Chen, directed by guest
artist, Michele Apriña
Leavy. Chen, a Bay Area native, takes
his cue from the sly writings of Italian fabulist author, Italo Calvino. His winking second person narrative and
meta-theatricality are delivered by a seven-person shape-shifting cast of Cañada students, who guide you on a
wild and delightful examination of love and longing.
At
once an anthropological tour through marriage customs, a spy thriller, and a
sci-fi love story, the only thing you can expect from the inventive,
mind-bending The Late Wedding
is the unexpected! Originally
commissioned in by San Francisco’s Crowded Fire Theater Company, the play had
its premiere with company in 2014. Since then, it has been produced at various
colleges and theater companies across the country. This production marks the play’s
fifth anniversary of its premiere.
The
cast includes: Pierre Alexander, Keith Becker, Lilian Cheng, David Fitzpatrick,
Luka Mehrling, Sarah Rodriguez-Soto, and Danielle Van Dyke.
Run time is about 60 minutes.
Tickets available at the door 30 minutes before show time.
