A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
April 1 - 22, 2006
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
Lyrics & Music by Stephen Sondheim
Screenplay and Adaption by Adolph Green
Based on the play of Plautus
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is presented through special arrangement with MTI, Musical Theatre International.

Co-Directed by Reva Kaufman and Peg Major

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is a non-stop laugh-fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors, and a showgirl or two.This unforgettable, hysterical musical allows a terrific ensemble of comedic actors to shine ─  "something for everyone, a comedy tonight!"
