It’s finally here!

You’ll want to come to the Theatre in Washington, Va., Friday, Nov. 15, at 8 p.m., to see “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”

It’s so heartfelt and hilarious you’re bound to love this movie written by and starring Nia Vardalos who grew up so Greek!

Chicago, which is the setting for Director Joel Zwick’s movie, seems to be a veritable Athens in America.

While most urban “Greek Towns” are a dying breed, downtown Chicago is thriving with Greek diners, clubs and cafes.

The story begins at The Dancing Zorba, a diner owned by the Portokalos family.

Tbula CNia Vardalos) starts out as a depressed and portly thirty-year-old who works as a hostess for her parents..

Trapped at the restaurant by her stubborn Greek father (Michael Constantine), who believes that a woman’s role in the world is to breed Greek children and cook, her life changes when she becomes smitten with the non-Greek Ian Miller (John Corbett).
