A young glassworker-in-training living with his pacifist father finds his apprenticeship upended by an impending war and the arrival of an army colonel to their seaside town.
In a town divided by duty and class, Vincent, a glassmaker’s son, and Alliz, a violinist who is the colonel’s daughter, fall in love. As their bond grows, rising tensions between their families threaten to pull them apart. Brought to life through stunning hand-drawn animation, The Glassworker is a poetic tale of first love, family, and the price of staying true to your art.

“Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animated feature film ever, and as Walt Disney did with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Riaz creates a masterpiece on his very first try.” – Next Best Picture

Island City Stage presents At the Wedding by Bryna Turner 8/21/25 – 9/14/25

You are cordially invited to the best day of someone else’s life… but what if it’s also the worst day of yours? Follow Carlo as she navigates the highs and lows of attending her ex’s wedding while dealing with her own heartbreak in Island City Stage’s South Florida premiere of At the Wedding by Bryna Turner, running August 21 – September 14. Tickets are on sale now.

At the Wedding premiered off-Broadway at Lincoln Center’s Claire Tow Theater in 2022. A story of loss, love and redemption, the play focuses on the world’s loneliest (and wittiest) single woman, Carlo, as she crashes her ex-girlfriend’s wedding to a man. Through a series of flirtations, conversations, and collisions with past lovers, old enemies, new friends and perfect strangers, Carlo strives to understand whether or not heartbreak is a permanent human condition.

New York Theatre Guide called At the Wedding “Bitterly funny… wisecracking and wisdom-sharing about the unbreakable bond between love and pain… there’s a fun time to be had at this wedding.” The New York Times shared, “Fresh and trenchant… The lines are funny; Turner has a boxer’s sense of the two-punch rhythm of jokes… Authorial patience is part of what makes At the Wedding so fresh; though there are plenty of one-liners, it is not a yuk-yuk comedy foisting its laughs at you or over-signaling its intentions… Also revivifying is the way Turner reshapes the wedding genre for our time, inviting new characters to the party.”

Island City Stage’s premiere production of At the Wedding is directed by Andy Rogow. An ensemble production, the show stars Hannah Benitez, Sandi Stock, Hannah Hayley, Timothy Mark Davis, Sheena O. Murray, Elizabeth Price and Steven Guez.

At the Wedding’s Co-producers are Sue Wilder & Russell Vance, Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett, Set Sponsors are Trevor & Margie Fried and Talent Sponsor is the DC Allen & Ken Flick No Gay Hate Fund at Our Fund Foundation. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., the SHS Foundation, The Maval Foundation, the Warten Foundation, OutClique and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

At the Wedding closes out Island City Stage’s 2024-25 season of powerful storytelling focusing on the nature of families with sold out performances of The Fantasticks, Edward Albee’s
A Delicate Balance, Fat Ham by James Ijames and The Dying Gaul by Craig Lucas.

Individual show tickets start at $43. A Mimosa Sunday Brunch sponsored by John Fomook & Charles Lee will take place on August 31 for $55. A special Women’s Night at the Theatre sponsored by Sue Wilder will take place on September 7. The show runs for 75 minutes with no intermission.

He uses field sketches, plein air paintings, and photographs to compose his pieces that are painted in layers with both knife and brush. He creates his landscapes to portray the splendor and simplicity of the natural world around us. Through his work, Tim seeks to lift the spirits and inspire awe above our day-to-day lives.
