Brittany Batell (Pandora) and Marc Holland (Edvard) play an unlikely engaged couple in Beth Henley's "Impossible Marriage," now being staged by Ann Arbor Civic Theatre.

Beginning Friday, Ann Arbor Civic Theatre’s Studio Series will present the quirky Beth Henley comedy "Impossible Marriage" from December 4-12 at A2CT’s intimate, 40-seat theater at 322 West Ann Street.


"Marriage," by the author of "Crimes of the Heart" and "The Miss Firecracker Contest," is set in one family’s mysterious Savannah garden. As the eccentric clan prepares for the wedding of an unlikely couple, their comedic efforts to stop the impending union will either put a stop to the wedding or strengthen the bride and groom's bond.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m., Dec. 6. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $15 for reserved seating. (Studio Series passes are also available and offer 5 admissions for the price of four. Passes are available only in advance and a reservation is required to secure your seat.) Tickets are available by phone at 734-971-2228, or at the door. Additional information is available at Civic's web site.

  • In this day and age, I think it’s a nearly inarguable fact that television has a monumental effect on children, and unless parents are willing to lock their offspring in a magical anti-media closet complete with corruption filter, there’s very little chance of insulating kids from what’s on TV. read more

  • There are aspects of our childhoods that we carry with us when we get older, and one of these for me has been the children’s book. It is children’s literature that often becomes our first foray into suspended belief and imagined landscapes. It is when we first question what it means to see the world and see how life can change suddenly at night. read more
