Directed by: Wes Skinner
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Run of Show
“Play On!” ran September 10-25, 2010, Thursday through Saturday at 8:00pm
Synopsis
The hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty authoress who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does. When the authoress decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious romp.
