Island City Stage’s ‘At the Wedding’ Is Sharp, Funny, and Deeply Human”

By AARON KRAUSE for Theatrical Musings

Want a neat, perfect wedding? You won’t find one in Bryna Turner’s funny, energizing, and emotionally sharp comedy, At the Wedding.

For starters, someone who maybe shouldn’t be at the affair is very much present — Carlo, the bride’s ex, who crashes her former partner’s wedding, possibly out of spite. Also, did I spot hay or straw among the more wedding-appropriate decorations like colorful flower arrangements and white cloths?

This present-day fictional wedding — one that may raise an eyebrow — continues through Sept. 24 in Island City Stage’s (ICS) intimate black box theater in Wilton Manors. This South Florida premiere production runs about 75 breezy minutes with no intermission.

ICS, an award-winning professional theater company with a focus on LGBTQ+ community, is closing out its 13th season with a vibrant and believable professional staging of At the Wedding. Under Artistic Director Andy Rogow’s dynamic direction, the production features a talented South Florida cast delivering nuanced performances that consistently entertain.
