Accepted Student Recognition Day 4/6/24 arrow

If you are interested in a lighthearted show and a good laugh, then make time to see the Term II play, One Slight Hitch, by Lewis Black at 7:30 p.m., April 7 and April 8 in the Elmira College Gibson Theatre. Open to the public, tickets are complimentary and proceeds from concessions will benefit the Alpha Psi Omega (APO) National Theatre Honor Society and Theatre Club at Elmira College.

“I want people to see this show and realize that it’s ok to be confused and scared,” said Jadde DiDonato-White ’23, an EC Psychology major who took on the roles of Director, Costume Designer, and Props Master. “There are always going to be people around you who will support you and any decision you make. It’s a feel-good show that makes me laugh and I hope everyone else will feel the same.”

Black is a well-known comedian, best known for TV rants. He based the situation in the play on his own experience after a former girlfriend, who claimed she never wanted to get married, called him not long after they broke up and told him she was getting married.

“It's Courtney's wedding day, and her mom, Delia, is making sure that everything is perfect,” explained DiDonato-White. “The groom is perfect, the dress is perfect, and the decorations (assuming they arrive) will be perfect. Then, like in any good farce, the doorbell rings and all hell breaks loose. So much for perfect.”
