For Better & For Worse Comedy Wedding is a hilarious interactive dinner theatre presentation. The show is produced by AspenDream Productions of Burlington, CT. For Better & For Worse Comedy Wedding was written, produced, and directed by Executive Director, Janice Luise-Lutkus, a native of Torrington. “The fun begins immediately entering the room and never stops from there. It’s a complete night of entertainment. “You’ll dance, dine, and be delighted.” said, Luise-Lutkus. “We are thrilled to do this fundraiser in my home town and to raise funds for such a worthy cause.” Named the longest running dinner theater company in Connecticut, AspenDream Productions™ is now in its eighteenth year.  AspenDream Production shows and murder mysteries  have appeared in 72 cities throughout New England, performed for over 12,000 guests, and raised half a million dollars for charities. 
 
The wedding is centered on the character of the notorious “Uncle Franco”, the head of the mob.  He is the life (and maybe the death of the party) and his ex-wife Stella. There are fifteen characters that dance, sing, and entertain. All feature professional actors from all over CT. A number of the actors are from Litchfield County, so don’t be surprised if you recognize a few of the faces.   Some of the memorable personalities include Father O’Flasky, Luigi “the Squeegee” Vendetta, Sal Manila, Sophia I’llCastratya, and Mario “One Minute” Mancini. The interactive dinner-theater are shows in which you, the audience, actually play the roles of Uncle Franco’s family or friends. “You’ll dance, you’ll sing, you’ll have the time of your life.”
 
Wear your favorite mob garb or the craziest wedding attire you can come up with. Bring your camera to take photos of the celebrities, and mobsters. This all inclusive evening of entertainment will be something you and your friends will be talking about for many years to come. For more information please visit: www.AspenDreamProductions.com
