'Black Tie' Concludes Clague Playhouse's 85th Season

Clague Playhouse’s current show, Black Tie, features a not-everyday dilemma: Should the father of the groom where a tuxedo to the wedding? And just as unimportantly, if the “rehearsal dinner” should be called the “bridal dinner.”

The show will conclude the Playhouse’s 85th year.

Written by A. R. Gurney and directed by Douglas A. Farren, Black Tie, running now through May 26, features Peter Toomey, Donna Case, Bobby Coyne, Debbie Lenarz and Lou Will.

When a Buffalo-born ad exec finds himself with his wife at a rundown Adirondacks resort hotel dressing the night before his son's wedding he must decide whether do don his tux for the occasion. Gurney’s play includes the ghost of the tux’s previous owner, “dad,” and viewers will hear a tapestry of marital modes and mores.

The play includes adult language.
