Never the Bridesmaid probably isn't the most accurate title for Polarity Ensemble Theatre's world premiere romantic comedy by Bill Jepsen. Sure, there is a much-married character, but the play isn't solely about her.
After being widowed once and divorced twice, quirky thirty-something Maria (Lindsey Pearlman) is cautious about entering into new relationships. But the play often focuses more on Maria's literary scholar twin brother, Anthony (Nick Lake), who is still coping with being dumped by his fiancée four years ago.
These siblings' unlucky attempts at love are only highlighted by still living at home with their happy, routine-loving parents named Doris (Daria Harper) and Elmer (Steve Pringle), who are nearing their 40th wedding anniversary. (The two also appear to love 1980s pink and turquoise color schemes, since the living room set by designer Charles C. Palia, Jr. brings to mind the old TV logo for Miami Vice.)
