Acting Against Cancer presents “The Wedding Singer”

08.11.17 | Louisville

Acting Against Cancer, a nonprofit theatre company that performs theatrical productions to raise money for children touched by cancer will be performing the pretty and poppy “The Wedding Singer” Aug. 4-13 in The Henry Clay Theatre at 604 S. Third St.

Based on the classic Adam Sandler film of the same name, “The Wedding Singer” follows the geeky but lovable Robbie Hart, the frontman of an in-demand wedding band in 1986 New Jersey. Lately, Robbie hasn’t been too lucky in his own love life, but when he fatefully meets waitress Julia who’s engaged to Wall Street jerk Glen, his hopeless romantic heart is set aflame in the most hysterical of ways.

There will be 7 shows over the run period. Specific dates and times can be found at actingagaisntcancer.com. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door. Tickets can be purchased in advance at actingagainstcancer.com. The show runs two hours and fifteen minutes. The show is directed by Whitten Montgomery and features Remy Sisk, Lauren Crawford, Kyle Braun, Michael Detmer, Brandis DeWilligen, Charlie Meredith and more!

“The Wedding Singer” is the first show of Acting Against Cancer’s 2017-18 season. It will be followed by “The Rocky Horror Halloween Party” (sidenote: that will be touring to PLAY Nashville as well as PLAY Louisville!) in October, “Rock of Ages” in January, “[title of show]” in March and “Carrie the Musical” in May. Season tickets are available at actingagainstcancer.com
