What’s Next
AT THE WEDDING
Written by Bryna Turner
Directed by Chris Foster
Carlo crashes her ex’s wedding with three simple goals: Don’t get drunk. Don’t make any kids cry. Don’t try to win back the bride, no matter how boring the groom is. A very, very funny play about loneliness and estrangement—and a slow-burn romance with being alive.
At the Wedding is a comedy for anyone who has ever watched their happy ending evaporate in a cloud of smoke and lived to tell the tale.

AVAILABLE ROLES
Carlo (30s, identifies female). A lesbian who masks her pain with an outrageous sense of humor—someone you’re drawn toward and terrified of in equal measure. She’s great at dispensing advice but incapable of receiving it. She has come to her ex’s wedding to a straight man, hellbent on… something, but she’s not sure what. She might be trying to save you or destroy you—or both. Anything to keep you distracted from focusing on her true feelings. Self-sabotaging. Trying hard, but failing to keep her emotions at bay.
Eli (30s, identifies male). A straight man in a floral shirt—a romantic, sensitive and earnest to an unwise degree. A high school English teacher who’s been through his fair share of therapy. Ready to propose to his long-term girlfriend.
Carly (30s, identifies female). A heterosexual, devoted bridesmaid with a master’s degree in passive-aggressive communication. She has a long history with both Eva and Carlo. She’s armed with a withering smile. Takes her role in the wedding very seriously.
Victor (20s–40s, identifies male). Annoyed cater-waiter—this is only his day job. Can throw shade with just a look. Has a boyfriend.
Maria (60s, identifies female). Mother of the bride. First Wives Club meets ex–Berkeley hippie. A more deeply pickled form of Carlo, she has a biting wit. She has not been invited to participate in many aspects of the wedding due to her unpredictable nature and tendency to speak her mind—and is avoiding her ex-husband and his date by hanging out at the bar. She and Carlo get along like a house on fire.
Leigh (late 20s–30s, identifies female or non-binary). Seductive and hip—someone who comes on strong without being cheesy or creepy. A queer graphic designer with great eyebrows. Leigh has a direct and penetrating gaze which promises a good time.
Eva (30s, identifies female). The bride—and Carlo’s ex. She is generous and kind but sees through the bullshit. Someone who tells the truth well. She knows when to play and when to get serious.
Actors do not necessarily need to be the ages indicated but should be able to portray the characters at these ages.
