The Gaslight Baker Theatre presents The Day Emily Married, a play by Pulitzer-Prize winning dramatist Horton Foote set in the mythical town of Harrison, Texas. A newlywed couple, Emily and Richard Murray, move into the house of her elderly and anxious parents, Lyd and Lee Davis. Emily’s first marriage had ended in a sad divorce. Now her father Lee plans on selling his own farm and some property to help Richard set up a business, and Emily finds herself caught between her seemingly-ideal new husband and her controlling family. 

A poignant, well-crafted tale of a wedding gone wrong, The Day Emily Married  runs from July 14-29, with shows every Friday and Saturday at 8 pm, plus 2 pm matinees on Sunday, July 23 and Saturday, July 29.
