ORANGEVILLE - The Mighty Richland Players Dessert Theater in Orangeville is bringing another comedy to the stage Friday through Sunday with "Harmony Romance."

The ladies of Harmony are back, and this time they are planning a wedding. Leah, a fellow church lady, is getting married to Howard, a man she hasn't seen in years and with whom she has had only an email and telephone relationship. When Howard finally arrives in town, the church ladies discover that the liver spots on his hand form a pentagram, which they suspect could indicate he may be a warlock or a demon. And to make matters worse, the church ladies have to decorate the church in the bride's chosen color scheme, varicose-vein purple and bedpan white. On the day of the wedding, Howard, who ate at a Mexican restaurant at the rehearsal dinner the night before, suffers a major spastic colon flare-up and disappears into the church's bathroom. Now it's up to the church ladies to find a way to get Howard out of the bathroom before he misses his own wedding.

The audience will be stepping into a wedding reception-like atmosphere and be served a wonderful dessert during intermission.

The majority of the cast have worked together many times over the years.

Performance times are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are available by calling 815-819-1310. For more information, check out the Mighty Richland Players Dessert Theater Facebook page or mightyrichlandplayers.com.
