It is the story of a father One crazy on his daughter's wedding day and the chaos that follows. All he has to do is bump into a door and he starts hallucinating, his principal vi- sion being a seductive flapper -style lady in pink chiffon and almost wrecks his mar- riage and nearly destroys his daughter's wedding. Appearing in There Goes The Bride is a delightful cast of characters including Em- ma Richter as Judy, Barrie Baldaro as Charles, Patricia Delves as Daphne, Robert Latimer as Bill, Gerald Lenton as Timothy, Louisa.Martin as Ursula, Virginia ltoncetti as Polly and Kenneth Wickes as Gerald. There Goes The Bride is just plain nuts, lunacy really. I laugh in different places every time we rehearse the play. I can't wait to see it along with the Playhouse au- dience," says Artistic Director, Steven Schipper. There Goes The Bride runs from July 21 to August 1/ Main Stage at 8:30 p.m.; Matinees Thursdays 2:30 p.m. at Huron Country Playhouse.

It can show that your organizatin or club is actively involved in your community or it can say thanks for any number of reasons. A family can proudly proclaim its heritage. A particularly prized possession can be displayed. A special talent can be used for entertainment. Whatever the reason, taking part in a parade is a lot of fun.
