"Set in Ohio in the 1980's, satirical comedian Lewis Black’s production opens the door to the Coleman’s house on the day their daughter is to marry. Hilarious family drama is set in motion with the mother's desire for "perfection", the unannounced arrival of the ex-boyfriend, and the father's attempts to keep him from being seen. Doors slam, secrets erupt, chaos ensues."

Seeking to cast 4 women and 3 men.

Melanie: (Female, early to mid-20s) – Doc and Delia’s middle daughter. A nurse and a bit schizophrenic, has always had a thing for birthday-suited Ryan . An attractive, flirtatious party girl that projects a wilder side than her older sister.Ryan: (Male, late 20s – early 30s) – The ex-boyfriend of Courtney. A bohemian free spirit. Hoping to write this generation’s “One the Road”. Survives on his good looks. Must be comfortable being shirtless on stage.

Harper: (Male, early to mid-30s) – The groom. Logical and wealthy, an "Al Gore-like" straight laced type. Can’t help being the “good guy” even when he knows it puts his relationship at risk.  The polar opposite of Ryan.
