Lulu Fogarty and Jason Prover were married July 12 at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan. Michael Horn, a Universal Life minister and a friend of the groom, officiated incorporating Jewish elements in the ceremony.
Ms. Fogarty, 32, who is pursuing a master’s degree in educational theater at City College, was a poetry and acting teacher at Urban Academy Laboratory High School in Manhattan. She is also an actor and playwright. In 2010 she created “Lillian Smith: Being Heard,” a one-woman show about a white Southern liberal who spoke out against segregation, and has performed it at various colleges along the East Coast and in Manhattan theaters. She is a founding ensemble member of 360 Repertory Theater Company in Manhattan, of which her father is the artistic director. She graduated magna cum laude from Syracuse.
She is the daughter of Leslie R. Dennis and Thom Fogarty of Manhattan. The bride’s father, in addition to directing, has also written several plays, including “Patient Lover Friend,” a drama about the AIDS crisis, performed last November by 360 Repertory Theater at Dixon Place. He also wrote “Lillian Smith’s Strange Fruit,” an adaptation of Ms. Smith’s play “Strange Fruit,’’ performed in 2015 at Piedmont College. The bride’s mother is the curriculum production manager at Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility in Manhattan.
Mr. Prover, also 32, is a professional trumpet player and teaches privately. In March he played with Lee Fields & the Expressions at the Van Morrison tribute at Carnegie Hall, and in 2017 with Wynton Marsalis at Jazz at Lincoln Center. He also leads, plays trumpet and does vocals for Sneak Thievery Orchestra. He graduated from the University of Florida and received a master’s degree in music from N.Y.U.
He is the son of Andrea B. Prover and Stanley L. Prover of Boca Raton, Fla. Until 2004, the groom’s mother was a purchasing manager for signage and facilities equipment at Alamo and National Car Rental in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. His father retired as a sales associate in the women’s shoe department at Macy’s in Boca Raton.
The couple met in November 2013 at a party in Brooklyn.
