The Wedding Singer takes us 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. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer’s sparkling new score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.

MAN VS. MACHINE
Clifton Players
Nov. 7-23
Liberty Exhibition Hall [Northside]
Enjoy a series of short plays that challenge the boundaries of creativity, featuring works by renowned playwright Lee Blessing alongside compelling pieces from other National Playwrights and artificial intelligence. Will you be surprised which stories speak to you?
We walk into this space of story telling asking ourselves and our audiences how comfortable are we consuming the artistry of the machine? Is it simply mirroring humanity as a collective? Will it be obvious a human soul isn’t behind a particular story? We will facilitate talk backs after each show for those who wish to discuss. Come let us tell you a story and hopefully keep you thinking about this experience long after you leave the theatre!
