"Sarah's Wedding", a unique romantic comedy filled with secrets, drama and laughter, is one of the most talked about shows in The Bahamas and has finally come to a New Providence stage.
The play, written and directed by Kerel Pinder, delivers a message that captures the importance of growth, and to show that no matter how messy your life gets, you are still someone worth rooting for. It will be held at The College of The Bahamas Performing Arts Centre, August 8-10.
Pinder, a young, talented individual embodies what Maya Angelou referred to as a phenomenal woman. Though written during a very difficult time in her life, Pinder said God guided her through that process and as a result Sarah's Wedding was written. Pinder was mentored in "Sarah's Wedding" by Gloria McGlone who has Broadway experience and is passionate about the arts. McGlone also plays an instrumental role in the success of "Sarah's Wedding" along with the YARD (Young Adults Regency Drama) group and the Freeport Players' Guild.
The show's producer, Alfred Anderson, describes "Sarah's Wedding" as a new standard for Bahamian playwrights and a new era in quality performances for Bahamian audiences.
Some of Grand Bahamas' top actors have roles in the play -- Zia Lewis as Sarah, Autumn Joy-Dames as Kharin, Grier Munro playing Shavon and Erica Weir as Summer. Other cast members include Jonathan Miller, Imani Roberts, Antonio Guarro, Nina Laing, Evan Williams, Antonio Smith, Ramon Webb, Luke Ignace, and Remardo Russell. Each character brings a unique twist to the overall story and invite all wedding crashers to attend the performance, as Sarah's Wedding is definitely the wedding of the year.
