The Member of the Wedding

One of American theatre’s great stories of innocence and experience, The Member of the Wedding gives us the fervent spirit of 12-year-old Frankie, a girl yearning to belong to a world beyond her small-town backyard. By her side is Berenice, the African-American maid who’s known the heartbreak and harshness of that wider world. Their passion for connection and what they discover one bittersweet summer unfolds in a tale that is as exuberant as youth and as wrenching as the blues.
