The Theatre Department presents: “The Play That Goes Wrong!”

The Theatre Department’s production of “The Play That Goes Wrong!” features a night of mishaps, mischief and mania. It’s the opening night of the Ditzler Drama Society’s newest production, “The Murder at Haversham Manor,” and things have quickly gone from bad…to utterly disastrous. The group’s ambitious 1920s who-done-it has everything you never want in a show: falling props, collapsing scenery, an unconscious star, a corpse that can’t play dead and actors who trip over everything…including their lines. How will this eager ensemble battle against the odds? Will they make it to the final curtain call? Find out in the Theatre Department’s season opener at the Herrick Theatre in the Dow Center. Admission is free.
