A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM

4/09/2012 DWHart No comments

The Jerry Herman Ring Theatre presents
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
April 11 - April 28

Inspired by the farces of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, one of Broadway's greatest farces, begins with the announcment of, "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!"

FORUM tells the bawdy story of a slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door. Light and fast-paced, witty and irreverent! It takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from Roman farces with the slapstick energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest that will leave your sides aching from laughter.

Showtimes

What I've been doing or listening to whether it's theatre related, for a sound design or personal

Just got two shows up and running, "Sylvia" for the Boca Raton Theatre Guild and "The All American Genderf*ck Cabaret" for Thinking Cap Theatre. Both are great shows and I encourage you to see them. The "Cabaret" one I am running so say hi to the guy in the booth if you come by.

After a very succesful run with Kim Ehly's "Baby GirL", it's onward to the first production by Island City Stage, co-produced by Empire Stage. "The Twentieth Century Way" by Tom Jacobson. Nice mix of Jazz music with some 1910-1920 thrown in.

Get your geek on this Memorial Day weekend listening to live streaming content from "PHOENIX COMICON 2012" over at VTWProductions.com. If you can't listen live then download and listen to all of the panels (Cut Down Into Podcast Size Segments By Me) at your convenience, or subscribe to "Alpha Geek Radio" on iTunes. It couldn't be easier!

Listining to an Alternative Indie Love Song station from Pandora Radio. Getting ready for Love Burns: 2 one-act romantic comedies for Thinking Cap Theatre at Empire Stage. Check them out!

Working on "Last Call" with Michael Leeds and Terri Girvin. Going to be a fabulos one women show presented at Empire Stage. Look under the tag "SPECIAL DEALS" for a discount on tickets.
