SYNOPSIS
This hilarious story features a theatre group trying to put on a play in spite of interference from a haughty author 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. The audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp.
ON STAGE
The cast includes Joseph Donohue as Algernon “Algie” Mansville; Nicole Merkel as Geraldine “Gerry” Dunbar; Greg Trax as Henry Benish; Linda Fink as Polly Benish; April Diaz as Marla “Smitty” Smith; Joshua Rikas as Saul Watson; Zachary Willging as Billy Carewe; Christina Munn as Violet Imbry; Nancy Wege as Louise Peary; and Heather Stoll as Phyllis Montague.
BEHIND THE SCENES
The show’s director is Mat Barninger with Morgan Fleeger, stage manager; Stephanie McCartney, assistant stage manager; and producers Carmela Champ and Joan Crooks.
