A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
Based on the plays “Miles Gloriosus”, “Pseudolus”, and “Mostellaria”
by Plautus (251-183 B.C.)

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is a non-stop laugh-fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan named Philia, for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors, and a showgirl or two.This unforgettable, hysterical musical allows a terrific ensemble of comedic actors to shine–“something for everyone, a comedy tonight!”

Performance dates: September 25, 26, October 2, 3, 9, 10
