Ghent Playhouse Presents, Invitation to a March

The Ghent Playhouse presents, ‘Invitation to a March’, running weekends in February, 2023.

While brimming with expectations of married life, the approaching reality puts a young bride-to-be to sleep whenever she’s around her rich, responsible fiance. With overtones of a famous fairytale, it is when kissed passionately by an unshackled unambitious plumber, that she awakens to the possibility of adventure, igniting a battle between the two families and two of the permanent residents who become entangled in their lives.

Written by Arthur Laurents and Directed by J. Peter Bergman.
