in the lounge Emerson Loses Her “Miand”: A Developmental Reading Laura Winters & Noam Shapiro
About This Show
A Jew, a Catholic, a Southern Baptist, two Muslims, an Atheist, and an Agnostic get on board a pedal trolley to kick off Emerson Greene’s bachelorette weekend. Although most of the bridesmaids are here to take selfies, Hana Mian, the groom’s eldest sister, has a few small questions about the interfaith Jewish-Muslim wedding, like: is the caterer aware that his meal needs to be kosher and halal? No matter how high tensions get on the bridal party’s way to the Grand Ole Opry, there’s only one rule: you can’t get off the trolley…legally.
