Van Wert Civic Theatre Presents, "The Play that Goes Wrong"

The Play That Goes Wrong is a guaranteed laugh riot. Buckle up for an evening of side-splitting physical comedy as the Cornley University Drama Society tackles a classic 1920s whodunnit, "The Murder at Haversham Manor." This ambitious but utterly accident-prone troupe faces catastrophe at every turn. Imagine collapsing scenery raining down on actors, disappearing props thrown into disarray, and lines hilariously forgotten (along with entire exits!). Despite the mounting mayhem, the determined cast perseveres, fueled by a delusional optimism and unwavering passion for the stage. Expect the unexpected as this play-within-a-play hilariously breaks the fourth wall, with clever meta-theatrical jokes that keep the audience roaring with laughter. Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, The Play That Goes Wrong is a masterclass in physical comedy and a celebration of the endearing chaos that can unfold in live theatre.
