Written by Rick Abbot
Directed by Lynne Lupfer

February 7 - February 28, 2026

The hilarious story of a community theatre group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening 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.

Clocking in at a brisk two hours, “Rick Abbot’s brilliant dialogue allows the audience to laugh right along with the actors as things continue to fall apart.” (BROADWAY WORLD)
