HS Play 2023 - Virgil's Wedding

Cannons Creek Independent High School is excited to present its annual school play on 11 and 12 May 2023.

Virgil’s Wedding is part of a series of comedic plays about Virgil Sludge and the town of Lickskillet by Eddie McPherson. Ms. Delanie, a big city wedding planner, wants a promotion... But in order to earn it, she has to do the impossible: Bring elegance to a hillbilly wedding. This will be difficult when the father of the groom catches on fire, the bride has a major bad hair day, and the groom is missing.

You're invited to the social clash of the century as Ms. Delanie, a high-end wedding planner, and her assistant, Barbie, are hired to direct a simple ceremony for two of Lickskillet's favourite lovebirds. The mayhem begins when the bride doubts the groom’s love, the in-laws are decorating the church with Christmas garlands, the reverend arrives late with notes for a funeral service, and the groom ends up spending the night before the wedding in his best man’s lizard trap. The morning of the wedding is a coordinator’s nightmare. It starts with a skittish bride who thinks she’s promised her love to the wrong man (her mama told her to marry “Mr. Right”), a lost groom and ungracious relatives who refuse to cooperate with fancy city ladies.
