However, the groom, who came out to them in school, is about to marry a woman to appease his religious family. As they laugh, drink and reminisce about the last time they were all together, the friends wonder if they should pretend that everything is normal or try and stop the wedding. Set entirely in a hotel lobby, #CaseyandTommyGetHitched explores how friendships age and what our responsibilities are when we "know what's best" for those we love.

    This is a beautiful and wonderfully funny show. Molly Wagner has a gift for ensemble work and natural dialogue. Each character is authentic and complex, discussing real issues while still making the audience laugh out loud. #CaseyandTommyGetHitched is on my list of new favorite plays.

    Right off the bat, this play sparkles with great dialogue and relatable characters. Not only does this feature relatable, realistic female and LGBTQIA characters, but it makes heavy issues feel light yet still complex. #CaseyandTommyGetHitched and is always funny, frequently touching, and never didactic and aces the difficult task of making characters actually talk like friends. ("Blabberfat Waddleworts" is one of the funniest lines I've read in a play in a long time.)

    The Greatest Generation, Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, whatever the hell you want to call them... when we're in our twenties, at the crossroads after college but before life really starts throwing the curveballs, we all have/had the same concerns and fears. The genius of this script is that Wagner realizes this, and has written a play that crosses all generational lines because the characters, and their concerns, are so universal. We're not so very different, after all. Beautifully done. And funny as hell, too!
