Aunt Martha, played by local favorite Mary McCreary, is determined to get her niece married. Sara, played by Malinda McAteer, is resistant. She likes her life, her apartment and her space. She doesn’t want or need a man. But the wheels of progress have already been set in motion. Aunt Martha, who is just a tad bit whacko, hires Noogie, Gordon Mayhall, an entrepreneur with few scruples, to bonk the intended over the head and take him to Sara’s apartment. That’s the way the cavemen did it and they had a much lower divorce rate, according to Aunt Martha. What could go wrong?
