Get ready to laugh harder than you’ve laughed before. Tacoma Little Theatre opens its 105th Season with The Play That Goes Wrong, by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Saver, and Henry Shields. This production is directed by Jennifer York.
Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! This Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
