Get ready for an exciting theatrical experience in Wilton Manors, as Plays of Wilton presents its fall production, “Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays.” This vibrant collection of nine ten-minute plays by contemporary playwrights delves into themes of marriage equality, family dynamics, and the ongoing public debate surrounding these issues. With performances running from November 6 to November 30, 2025, at The Foundry Theater, this production promises to engage audiences with its blend of humor and emotional depth.
The unique aspect of this production is its collaboration with multiple South Florida directors rather than relying on a single vision. Among the notable directors are Genie Croft, award-winning director and founding Artistic Director of The Women’s Theatre Project; Gail S. Garrisan, recipient of prestigious awards and founding Artistic Director of City Theatre’s Summer Shorts; and David Jobin, the President & CEO of The Our Fund Foundation, who brings extensive experience in developing new works. Other talented directors include Greg Schuh, Jack Stein, Nicole Stodard, Seth Trucks, and Jeff Walters, who is making his live directing debut. This diverse team is sure to bring a rich array of perspectives and creativity to the stage.
Production Details
The production team is equally impressive, featuring Producer Ronnie Larsen, Associate Producer Joseph Guidetti, and Managing Director Jeff Walters. The technical side is covered by Lighting Designer Preston Bircher and Sound and Light Technician Panos Mitos, ensuring a polished and engaging experience for the audience. Publicity for the event is managed by Steven Some, helping to spread the word about this important production.
The cast boasts a mix of returning POW! Alumni and new performers, offering a fresh yet familiar face to the stage. As Ronnie Larsen emphasizes, the themes explored in “Standing on Ceremony” are particularly relevant in today’s political climate regarding marriage equality. Originally premiering Off-Broadway in 2011 and directed by Stuart Ross, this production has received positive reviews for its heartfelt storytelling and comedic elements.
