At the Wedding

A hilarious, rough-edged new comedy from one of America’s most exciting new voices, initially developed at TheatreSquared as part of its Arkansas New Play Festival. Carlo is going to be really well behaved today. She’s not going to get drunk. She’s not going to give any long-winded speeches. And she’s definitely not going to try to steal the bride back.

Ann<br />

Dear friends,<br />

The Royale<br />

The Half-Life of<br />

Marie Curie<br />

It’s such a joy to welcome audiences back to <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>atre again<br />

in person.<br />

Not that we’ve been quiet in <strong>the</strong> interlude. With ten filmed and<br />

streamed productions since last summer, it’s been an actionpacked<br />

year. We’ve welcomed <strong>the</strong> national spotlight brought by<br />

press from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, All<br />

Things Considered, The New Yorker and o<strong>the</strong>rs. These were real,<br />

transformative arts experiences that have revolutionized access<br />

to TheatreSquared’s work.<br />

Still, <strong>the</strong>re’s nothing like <strong>the</strong> feeling of an audience around you as<br />

<strong>the</strong> lights go down and <strong>the</strong> show begins: <strong>the</strong> expectant hush, <strong>the</strong><br />

shared laughter, <strong>the</strong> applause.<br />

We’ve missed that feeling … so for <strong>the</strong> rest of 2021, let’s celebrate<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r as often as we can! From My Fa<strong>the</strong>r’s War, to Matilda <strong>the</strong><br />

Musical, to <strong>the</strong> music-filled American Mariachi, to <strong>the</strong> world<br />

premiere of Designing Women, to <strong>the</strong> five-time Tony-nominated<br />

musical Violet and our very own A Christmas Carol, this year is<br />

jam-packed with amazing live <strong>the</strong>atre that we can experience<br />

here, toge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

And for this moment—this wonderful, shared moment—enjoy<br />

<strong>the</strong> show!<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Martin Miller, Executive Director<br />
