You are cordially invited to the best day of someone else’s life... but what if it’s also the worst day of yours? Join Carlo as she attempts to make it through the night without drinking too much, talking too much, or trying to win back the bride. 

At the Wedding by Bryna Turner is a very, very funny 75-minute play about loneliness, estrangement, and a slow-burn romance with what it means to be in love and to be alive. Through Carlo’s painful yet humorous journey, Turner explores the raw ache of heartbreak and the complexities of q***r identity in spaces not designed for her.

From visionary Tony Award winners playwright Jack Thorne and director Matthew Warchus comes a magical interpretation of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic. This immersive production wraps the audience around the action, inviting the communal holiday spirit in us all.

On a bitter Christmas Eve, cold-hearted miser Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by four ghosts who transport him to worlds past, present, and future. He witnesses what a lifetime of fear and selfishness has led to and sees with fresh eyes the lonely life he has built for himself. Can he be saved before it’s too late?

This five-time Tony Award winner and New York Times Critics’ Pick features dazzling staging, moving storytelling, and 12 cherished Christmas carols including “Joy to the World,” “Silent Night,” and “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear.”

Important details: Students can sign up for ONE ticket. Sign-ups close November 20. Students who don’t show up won’t be eligible for future free tickets. Email Program CLT Sydnee Davis at [email protected] to reserve your ticket.
