DULUTH, Ga. — The story of runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks is becoming a rock opera.
Mark Pitt, the theater's owner, says the show will not spoil Wilbanks'infamous disappearance before her scheduled 2005 wedding. Instead, it will show how the community came together and bonded over the experience, which included a massive search for Wilbanks before she turned up later.
Wilbanks and her then-fiance, John Mason, will only be minor characters, Pitt said.
