Ashley Martin has been through more grief than a person experiences in their entire life and carries baggage that no kid should ever entail. Tyler Miller is the school's scandalous bad boy who acts on impulse, blinded rage and will single-handedly destroy anybody who stands in his way. Then all of a sudden, they're thrown together and despite their destructive past, they're forced to overcome their differences. It's time for Ashley to stop running away from his death glares, blank stares and that spine-chilling scowl that reminds her just how little he cares. Driven by a whirlwind of secrets, a class assignment and midnight walks into the past, things should start working out. But then fate kicks in; hard-hitting and soul-crushing. It's a fight-or-flight situation, a reincarnation of her past, a chance for him to right the wrongs he did by her. A second chance is like giving someone an extra bullet for their gun after they missed you the first time round. So here's Tyler's gun. Here's Ashley's heart. And here's to their second chance, however hopeless it may seem.

"A wedding is a funeral where you smell your own flowers." - Eddie Cantor. In The Bad Beginning, Al Funcoot's "The Marvelous Marriage" is vaguely described, since it is written for a length of three acts and is described by Mr. Snicket as "a dreadful play and of no real importance". In addition, two productions shared abridged versions of the tale, one in 2004 and one in 2017. Finally, after years and years of searching, the original, unabridged, and slightly oxidized (a word meaning papers of a book turning yellow due to the exposure of lignin to air and sunlight) manuscript has been brought to the public for the use of reading and performing, with the help of two archeological professors, three literature scholars, an unfriendly refrigerator repair man, a helpful real estate agent, and an architect in training. In 19th Century France, war hero Count Amadeus de Chevalier has just proposed to the love of his life, Lady Madeline Bellrose, a unique and intelligent woman. However the Count's fiendish and sinister rival, Baron Johan von Whesterstein of Germany, plots to ruin the Count's reputation and plot the conquest of Europe, with the help of his underground criminal network scattered across Europe, Asia, and Africa. With the help of his love Madeline, his idiotic sidekick Lt. Claude d'Blague, American Navy cadet Lucas Seyler, British Judge Margaret Sadoc, and his trusty steed Maurice, the Count will stop at nothing to defend France and the rest of Europe from this heinous villain while trying to balance the average issues of planning a wedding any normal person would have to deal with. Containing all three unabridged acts, very fitting descriptions, clips from certain parts, photos, the original casting, author commentary, and a foreword from the director, readers can enjoy reading and reenact the great and famous incognito play that is the Marvelous Marriage!
