Hoarse Raven Theatre presents Western Canada’s longest running interactive comedy— the wildest, wackiest wedding ever imagined! The Wedding begins with the traditional, but hilarious ceremony at Vancouver’s heritage landmark, St. Andrew’s Wesley United Church. The audience members, who are greeted as wedding guests, meet the show’s colourful characters: the feuding Nunzio and Vitale families, the best friends of the bride and groom, the charismatic minister and the brooding ex-boyfriend.

After the ceremony, the wedding guests and wedding party walk next door to the Century Plaza Hotel and Spa’s Burrard Ballroom for the wedding reception. Celebrations include dancing, singing, a Vegas-style lounge act and, of course, a scrumptious four-course Italian dinner. Learn juicy family secrets; get drawn into lover’s quarrels and family disagreements; keep your eyes and ears open at all times as this is one wedding where anything can happen.

Produced and directed by Michael Fera and Tanja Dixon-Warren. When Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding opened in July 1995, the co-operative consisted of cast, crew, Michael (who made all of the artistic choices in the show) and Tanja (who acted in the show, oversaw sales, marketing, box office, accounting and troubleshooting). Over the last eight years, Hoarse Raven Theatre has employed more than 400 actors and technicians. Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding plays regularly in Vancouver while a second cast is often performing for corporations, fundraisers and communities throughout the province. Michael and Tanja have also enjoyed a successful run as co-directors for the Seattle, Edmonton and Winnipeg productions of Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding.
