Peri Gilpin, Richard Kind, Wendie Malick, Kathy Najimy, Jean Smart Set for Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays, Returning March 28

Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays will return to Largo at the Coronet Theatre for a series of Monday night performances, March 28-June 20.

Conceived and directed by Brian Shnipper, this evening of new plays was created to raise money and awareness in support of marriage equality. It includes works by playwrights Jordan Harrison, Jeffrey Hatcher, Moisés Kaufman, Neil LaBute, Wendy MacLeod, Kathy Najimy, José Rivera, Paul Rudnick, and Doug Wright.

The cast for March 28 will include Peri Gilpin, Richard Kind, Wendie Malick, Kathy Najimy, and Jean Smart. Full casting for each performance will be announced at later dates.

A portion of the net proceeds will benefit the work of the LA Gay & Lesbian Center to build majority support for same sex marriage both locally in LA and nationally. Recent performances benefitted the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and Equality California.

To encourage dialogues between audiences, writers, actors and organizations, the production invites the audience to a “wedding reception” with wedding cake and chat immediately after each performance.
