After the children discover the deception\, they reject the arranged love match. Each goes off to experience the wider world. They return to each other bruised but enlightened by their journeys\, realizing that they have always been in love\, and renew their vows with more maturity.\n\n\n\nShows are Aug 12-14 at 7:30 and 13-14 at 2:30.\n\n\n\nTickets will be $10 and $8.
