ABOUT THE GUTHRIE'S WHEN WE ARE MARRIED DREAM WEDDING GIVEAWAY:
Couples entered the $60K giveaway by submitting a video telling why they wanted to be married at the Guthrie. The public then voted for their favorite of the top five entries on MSPmag.com and MetroMix.com, with Bierbaum and Albrecht ultimately being declared the winners. In addition to being married on the Guthrie's Wurtele Thrust Stage by Father of the Bride film star and Guthrie veteran Peter Michael Goetz, the couple's prize package also included a reception in the Dowling Studio, wedding cake by The Cake Box, a wedding gown from l'atelier couture bridal boutique, tuxedo rental from Savvi Formalwear, wedding bands by local artist Karin Jacobson Design, ceremony and reception photography by Anderson's Designer Portraits, videography by Princess Bride Videography, custom designed invitations by A Milestone Paper Co., floral arrangements by Bachman's, a wedding night hotel room at aloft Minneapolis, and a honeymoon at the Radisson St. Martin Resort, Marina and Spa.

ABOUT WHEN WE ARE MARRIED:
Set on a September evening in 1908, the farcical comedy takes place in the sitting room of Alderman Helliwell's house, as old friends gather to celebrate the silver wedding anniversaries of three couples. Before the celebration gets into full swing, Gerald Forbes, the chapel organist and choir master, is called to the house to account for his improper courting of the Helliwells' niece Nancy. Threatened by the three patriarchs, Forbes plays his trump card: a letter proving that the three couples were never really married 25 years ago. The secret spreads and soon each couple's relationship is rigorously and hilariously tested to its limit. 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. Single tickets are priced from $29 to $60, and 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/.
