A side-splitting dash to the altar

“A sweet, funny look at mid-life marriage.” —HoustonChronicle

Beloved fan favorite Denise Fennell, best known for her role as Sister in Late Nite Catechism, returns to Stages for her one-woman hysterical comedy showcase. Fresh off its record-breaking run in 2023 right here at Stages, Denise Fennell’s The Bride Or does this dress make me look married? has gone on to tour nationally to audience and critical acclaim.

With less than two hours until her wedding, a bride of a certain age begins to question the meaning of love, life, and the ritual of marriage. Drawing inspiration from her own life and the advice of the audience, the bride must make the decision of a lifetime.
