    WEDDING FAMOUS is a wildly funny and poignant comedy that speaks to contemporary wedding culture with sharply observed precision. Brandon and Garrett Baer have found a unique way of skewering, probing, and questioning the pageantry and pressure of modern romance with laugh-out-loud humor and genuine tenderness. A refreshing, clear-eyed look at friendship, queer identity, modern wedding culture, and the messy, deeply human desire to belong.

    It's not often that a play manages to dive head-first into taboo topics such as the porn industry with this level of fearlessness. The bold and daring nature of the writing is coupled with the tremendous sense of humor and heart that Harper imbues at every turn. I absolutely love the way this play follows Kyle's search for his sense of belonging in the world, in his relationships, and within himself.
