'Getting Sara Married' leads to a lot of laughs
FRANKLIN TWP, Beaver County — The Red Barn Players will open their season with the comedy "Getting Sara Married" for nine performances starting Friday.
The show, written by Sam Bobrick, is directed by Paul Angelucci of New Castle.
Performances are set for 8 p.m. June 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18 and 19 at the Red Barn Theatre on Route 228, the Ellwood-Zelienople Road.
The story revolves around Sara Hastings, an unmarried lawyer in her mid-30s, much too busy to get involved in any romance. Her Aunt Martha has decided to take matters into her own hands and find her a husband. Unfortunately, Aunt Martha's method amounts to having the prospective groom bopped over the head and brought to Sara's apartment.
Aunt Martha's choice is Brandon Cates, a young man who handles her finances. Although Brandon is already engaged to be married, this does not deter Aunt Martha. After being bopped on the head a few times, having a temporary loss of memory and experiencing several instances of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and a confrontation with a very angry fiancée, Brandon slowly comes to realize that Sara is really the girl for him.
The cast includes Jessa Hvizdalek of Ingomar, Susan Brown of Ellwood City, Scott Keener of Ben Avon, Aaron Zimmerman of New Brighton, Catherine Schulz of Pittsburgh and Adam Diamond of Center Township.
Tickets are $10. Reservations can be made by calling 724-773-7150.
