But the year is 1914, and their first flirtations ignite right as World War I begins to engulf the world.

Having been performed in theaters all over the world, RhinoLeap is honored to share with you the extraordinary moments of innocence and courage that are captured in Mary's Wedding.

Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! This Tony Award winning musical has been charming audiences across the country for years and now it’s coming to Asheboro.
