Bride +1
Clarissa is a 39-year old, successful, interior designer. She knows how to be a lady in the living room, a tiger in the bedroom, and a mom in the kitchen, yet she’s never been married. Her urge to have kids is unrelenting, so she makes a decision. She hires a videographer and at the next family function makes a huge announcement: she’s getting married! To whom? She doesn’t know. But she’s taking a leap of faith to make it happen, and to have the whole adventure captured on video. Clarissa believes that If She Builds It, He Will Come. She asks her best guy friend to be her Maid of Honor, and they have a blast picking out her flowers, cake, and invitations. Along the way, she has many bad dates. She tries all kinds of crazy tactics to attract her life-mate. Nothing works. The big day arrives; but it’s nothing like anyone could have possibly imagined. “Bride +1” has been described as “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” for the Latino community. It celebrates a diverse cast of Latino actors, but has played to mixed audiences, and received a 500-seat standing ovation.
