The Santa Maria Civic Theatre’s latest production is One Slight Hitch, a show written by comedian Lewis Black.
Black is a stand-up comic and writer who is famous for his humorous angry rants about politics, pop culture, religion, and other topics. He’s often appeared on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. His play, One Slight Hitch, based on events from Black’s own life, revolves around Courtney’s wedding day and the efforts of her mother, Delia, to make it perfect. Delia devotes herself to making sure every detail is flawless, from the dress to the decorations, until the doorbell rings and it sends the entire event into chaos.
John Shade is directing the production.
One Slight Hitch runs at Santa Maria Civic Theatre from March 22 through April 7. Tickets are available for purchase at smct.org.
