A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (8:00 pm)
About the Show
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart Directed by Don Brandenburg "Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight!"
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is Broadway's greatest farce. It's fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. Situations from the time-tested, 2000 year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus are combined with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of the beautiful but slow-witted courtesan, Philia, for his young master in exchange for his freedom..

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (8:00 pm)
About the Show
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart Directed by Don Brandenburg "Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight!"
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is Broadway's greatest farce. It's fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. Situations from the time-tested, 2000 year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus are combined with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of the beautiful but slow-witted courtesan, Philia, for his young master in exchange for his freedom..

Greater Tuna (3:00 pm)
Part of the Piccolo Spoleto Theatre Series
About the Show
By Joe Sears, Jaston Williams, and Ed Howard
Directed by Rob Maniscalco
Greater Tuna is the classic, quick-change comedy in which two multi-talented actors portray 20 people from "the third smallest town in Texas ... where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. Spend 24 hours with the residents of Tuna and laugh along as the zany citizens cope with the highs and lows of every day life, far removed from the big city. Written by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams, and Ed Howard, Greater Tuna is at once an affectionate comment on small-town, southern life and attitudes, and also a withering satire of the same. You'll see there's never a dull moment in Tuna.

Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) (7:00 pm)
Part of the Piccolo Spoleto Theatre Series
About the Show
By Eric Rockwell & Joanne Bogart
Directed by Jon-Michael Perry
Sometimes one musical isn't enough!
Musical of Musicals (The Musical!) is a musical about musicals! In this hilarious satire of musical theatre, one story becomes five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form, from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim. The basic plot: June is an ingenue who can't pay the rent and is threatened by her evil landlord. Will the handsome leading man come to the rescue? The variations are: a Rodgers & Hammerstein version, set in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet; a Sondheim version, featuring the landlord as a tortured artistic genius who slashes the throats of his tenants in revenge for not appreciating his work; a Jerry Herman version, as a splashy star vehicle; an Andrew Lloyd Webber version, a rock musical with themes borrowed from Puccini; and a Kander & Ebb version, set in a speakeasy in Chicago.

Last Train to Nibroc (8:00 pm)
Part of the Piccolo Spoleto Theatre Series
About the Show
By Arlene Hutton
Directed by Jo Ellen Aspinwall
This is the story of May, a young woman from Kentucky, and Raliegh, a young soldier, who meet on a train in 1940. Last Train to Nibroc is a funny, touching portrait of two young people searching for happiness during WWII. This simply staged romance played to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and Off-Broadway. "...a blissfully sweet romantic play quite unlike the typical fare offered in theatres these days." —NYTheatre.com. "...a gently charming little play, reminiscent of Thornton Wilder in its look at rustic Americans who are to be treasured for their simplicity and directness..." —Associated Press. "NIBROC's jokes are funny and its couple endearing because their emotional struggles ring true." —Time Out NY. "You could easily enjoy another few hours of this." —NY Times.

Greater Tuna (7:00 pm)
Part of the Piccolo Spoleto Theatre Series
About the Show
By Joe Sears, Jaston Williams, and Ed Howard
Directed by Rob Maniscalco
Greater Tuna is the classic, quick-change comedy in which two multi-talented actors portray 20 people from "the third smallest town in Texas ... where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. Spend 24 hours with the residents of Tuna and laugh along as the zany citizens cope with the highs and lows of every day life, far removed from the big city. Written by Joe Sears, Jaston Williams, and Ed Howard, Greater Tuna is at once an affectionate comment on small-town, southern life and attitudes, and also a withering satire of the same. You'll see there's never a dull moment in Tuna.
