At Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre
Always A Bridesmaid is leaving them laughing at the altar

Four girlfriends vow to be bridesmaids for each others’ “Big Day”. Eight weddings and lots of ugly dresses later, they can still laugh together  — and so will you!

For richer-for-poorer, in sickness and in health, these aging debutantes are determined to help each other find happiness-ever-after.  Call 559-266-0660/800-371-4747 or buy online at  2ndspacetheatre.com. (Rated PG)

The Cripple of Inishmaan opens April 23
at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre

Hollywood is coming to a small village in Ireland and young Billy wants to be in a movie more than anything in the world. This quirky tale by Martin McDonough is set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland and revolves around the real-life visit by filmmaker Robert Flaherty while making the documentary Man of Aran in 1934. Crowded with idiosyncratic characters, this dark comedy unfolds in the great tradition of Irish storytelling; funny, tragic and unforgettable. (Rated PG-13)
