‘Play On!’ play dates, times and ticket information
Play: Play On!
Playwright: Rick Abbot
Synopsis: The comedy follows a game community theater group that is desperately trying to put on a murder-mystery titled “Murder Most Foul.” Standing in their way is playwright Phyllis Montague, who keeps revising the script even though the opening is just four days away! Act I depicts a rehearsal of the dreadful show, during which the playwright repeatedly interrupts the actors with on-the-fly revisions. Act II portrays the near-disastrous dress rehearsal. And the uproariously funny final act showcases the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does. When the author decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theater during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects garner their share of laughter.
