‘Always a Bridesmaid,’ described as a hilarious comedic romp co-written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten, is being performed by the Prairie Players Civic Theatre on Friday, Sept. 13 and 20, and Saturday, Sept. 14 and 21, and on Sunday, Sept. 15 and 22.
The production is directed by Anne Carman-Hendel and tells the story of four friends who have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of the Senior Prom: to be in each other’s wedding-no matter what. More than 30 years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making “the long walk” for each other, determined to honor that vow.
Cast members include Chloe White, Shari Robinson, Chris Curtis, Stephanie Liljedahl, Mary Ellen Milem, and Sonrisa Nolan.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays at the Prairie Players Civic Theatre, located at 160 S. Seminary St., in Galesburg.
Ticket prices are $16 for adults and $9 for students.
“Always a Bridesmaid” is supported by sponsors, Ducky’s Formal Wear, Kohl’s Diamond Gallery, and Cooks & Company.
Prairie Players Civic Theatre also acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council. These partnerships are essential to their mission of creating affordable, quality productions that enrich the community.
