'The Wedding Singer' plays at Karns City
KARNS CITY — Karns City High School, 1446 Kittanning Pike, will present the musical “The Wedding Singer” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27 and 28 and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. March 1 in the high school auditorium.
Tickets are $8 in advance and $9 at the door. Tickets are available at the high school.
“The Wedding Singer” takes the audience back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.
It's 1985 and a rock-star wannabe named Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar.
Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
The musical is directed by Beth Ackelson.
