Have you ever been to one of those awkward weddings, where it's obvious that nobody except the bride and groom are happy about the match? Now, imagine that everyone involved — the bride's mother, the groom's mother, even the pastor — was conspiring to keep the young fiancees apart. It's not just a recipe for hilarity, it's the plot to Beth Henly's Impossible Marriage. The Village Players will be putting on the nuptial hijinks throughout May. Henly is a modern master of darkly funny romantic comedies, and Impossible Marriage should hit it off with any theater types with a secret love of The Bachelor and other such ridiculous marriage stories. $14-16. Opens Friday, May 10, 8pm. 2740 Upton Avenue. 419-472-6817. thevillageplayers.org.—JS
