In this hilarious comedic romp, four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other’s weddings…no matter what.  Thirty years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still determined to honor that vow.  If you’ve ever elbowed a stranger out of the way to catch a bride’s bouquet, seriously questioned the mental stability of the duo saying “I do” or been forced to wear the world’s ugliest bridesmaid dress, this deliriously funny Jones Hope Wooten comedy is definitely for you…and your dearly beloved!
Following the Matinee, return to your seat in the dining room for a fun-filled Cabaret Show!
