"A Funny Thin Happened on the Way to the Forum" auditions are open and no experience is necessary. All auditions are at 7 p.m. Performances are at 8 p.m. except Sunday performances are at 2 p.m.
Readings will be from the script. Performances: Feb. 25, 26, 27 and March 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12 & 13. Based on the plays of Plautus "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!", Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written, the perfect escape from life's troubles.
"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom. Songs include "Comedy Tonight," "Lovely," and many more!
A Tony award winner!
