The company and director that brought you Over the River and Through the Woods and Hallalujah Girls, which played to sold-out houses in our seventh season, are back to open season eight with One Slight Hitch by Lewis Black.

This wedding day romantic comedy, written by Lewis Black and directed by Christine Mosere, takes place at the Coleman’s house—where Delia Coleman has planned the perfect wedding day for her daughter. The doorbell rings and “one slight hitch” brings about hysterical romantic zaniness.

The cast includes Pacific NW favorites Melanie Calderwood and Keith Dahlgren as Doc and Delia Coleman — the hilarious parents of the bride. Keith was recently seen at The Phoenix Theatre in Blithe Spirit and has acted in most of the Seattle professional theaters. Also staring Simone Barron, Rebekah Dawn, Jordan Fermstad, J. Woody Lott, and Liz Adkisson Smoot.

Playwright Lewis Black is a graduate of the prestigious Yale School of Drama. As a playwright, he has authored over 40 plays that have been produced in theaters across the country.
