Joey and Julie Get Hitched returns to Kamloops on Friday and Saturday at the Pacific Inn and Suites, 1820 Rogers Place.
With actors and alumni from the Thompson Rivers University theatre-arts program taking part, the audience will experience a real wedding event, complete with bride, groom, dinner, a dance — and a script that goes sideways into hilarity.
The event is a fundraiser for the Kamloops chapter of Special Olympics B.C. On Friday, the dinner will be catered by Conscientious Catering and, the following night, Moon Wok will serve a Chinese buffet. Vegetarian meals are available with advance notice.
The evenings follow a wedding-day schedule, with cocktails at 4:30 p.m., the ceremony at 5:30 p.m. and the reception afterward — all performed with the audience part of the play.
Tickets are $75 and are available by calling 250-318-0715.
The hotel is also offering a package that includes two tickets, a room and a continental breakfast. Cost for that is $259 plus taxes; to book one, call the hotel at 250-372-0987.
Potluck on Friday
Kamloops Players are getting ready for next year’s season — and are looking for some help.
The community-theatre group is hosting a pot-luck dinner and play reading on Friday at The Stage House, 422, Tranquille Rd., for anyone interested in working on stage, backstage, fundraising — anything that helps with the theatrical process from choosing a play to selling out the house.
The Art of Murder will be read that night and the theme for the dinner is M — for murder. Organizers ask people planning to attend to bring a dish that starts with the letter M.
Coffee, tea and bottled water will be provided; participants can also bring their own beverages.
For more information, call Sharon Huuha at 250-554-2388 or email huuha@telus.net.
Show on weekend
The Logan Lake Arts Council hosts a Spring Show and Sale on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the old library next to Highland Valley Foods. More than 20 artists will be displaying and selling their works.
