WHITE WEDDING
[site-specific play – indie comedy]
Produced at 2017 Toronto Fringe Festival
“[White Wedding by Taylor Marie Graham] is a site specific piece that used its space to its advantage . . . The show used the space spectacularly and incorporated a well-conceived explanation for why the wedding was happening here into the script. With the actors constantly flowing in and out of stairwells and music playing faintly in the background, it really felt like you were on the outskirts of a wedding reception.” – Jackie Mahoney, Mooney on Theatre
