Will the wedding take place or won’t it?

The only way you’ll know is to attend the Romeoville High School production of Father of the Bride on stage in the RHS Little Theatre Oct. 30, Nov. 1 and Nov. 7.

When Mr. Banks’ daughter, Kay, announces her engagement out of nowhere, Mr. Banks is very hesitant. The groom-to-be, Buckley Dunstan, and Kay don’t want a “big” wedding—just a simple affair with a few friends. But when the guest list grows larger each day, a caterer is called in, and florists, furniture movers and dressmakers take over, the Banks household is soon caught in turmoil, not to mention growing debt.

When Kay, in a fit of temper, calls off the wedding, everyone’s patience snaps.
