"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" Seeks Teens

Teens invited to audition for “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” More information is provided below. About the project: Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent, and one of the funniest musicals ever written. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus, with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is a nonstop laughfest 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!" Rate: No pay.
