RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Racine Theatre Guild is putting on the perfect show for date night. Always a Bridesmaid is the next show coming up. Show Director Michael Clickner and Actress in the show Elle Lawrence joined us in studio to discuss it.

Something borrowed, something blue, and something catastrophically wrong, the wedding must go on in “Always A Bridesmaid” March 28 through April 13, 2025 at the Racine Theatre Guild. Four friends made a promise at their senior prom: to be in each other’s weddings, no matter what. Who knew that over thirty years later, they would still be forced to honor that vow? With everything from runaway brides to fistfights, ugly bridesmaid dresses, and multiple trips down the aisle, the perfect wedding seems to elude these loyal ladies. Hop on this marriage-go-round for a laugh-out-loud adventure in sickness and in health as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony. Written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten.
