Father of the Bride

Father of the Bride at Meadow Brook Theatre

Why see Father of the Bride?

the perfect wedding?

In the world of Stanley Banks, life as the average dad in suburbia is serene and predictable. That is, until his daughter reveals her surprise engagement! The discomfort of his overly tight suit is the perfect metaphor of the tightening grip the wedding preparations have on him logistically, financially and emotionally, with the looming prospect of his beloved daughter's passage into adult independence. A tender-hearted comedy for all the family!

Based on Edward Streeter's beloved 1949 novel, Father of the Bride has charmed audiences for decades with its heartfelt humour and timeless warmth. Adapted for the stage by Caroline Francke, this classic American comedy offers a funny, relatable, and touching journey through the beautiful - and sometimes bonkers - road to "happily ever after".
