standing on ceremony the gay marriage plays

By Mo Gaffney, Moisés Kaufman,  Neil  LaBute, Wendy MacLeod, Jose Rivera, Paul Rudnick, Doug Wright

ActOut Production July 2016

​

Directed by Marcus A. Roland

Executive Producer, Terry Mullins


The Cast:                                            

Kim Dixon, Tommy Gatton, Deborah Martin, Burley Thomas, Sherry Jackson Thompson, and Rick Wayman.

​

​Two little words, and suddenly your whole world changes. An A-list lineup of writers offers unique takes on the moments before, during, and after "I do." Witty, warm, and occasionally wacky, these plays are vows to the blessings of equality, the universal challenges of relationships, and the often hilarious power of love.
