About When We Are Married
Three distinguished couples come together in celebration of their joint silver wedding anniversaries only to discover that the parson who married them was, in fact, not authorized to perform marriages, and they have been "living in sin" for the past 25 years. J.B. Priestley's rollicking summer comedy reunites three generations of beloved Guthrie actors, including Robert O. Berdahl, Raye Birk, Barbara Bryne, Helen Carey, Maggie Chestovich, Patricia Conolly, Dennis Creaghan, Bob Davis, Peter Michael Goetz, Jonas Goslow, Linda Kelsey, Colin McPhillamy, Christine Weber and Sally Wingert.

When We Are Married continues through August 30 on the Wurtele Thrust Stage at the Guthrie. Single tickets are priced from $24 to $60. Tickets are now on sale through the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224, toll-free 877.44.STAGE and online at http://www.guthrietheater.org/.
