Sat, Jul 20 - 2:00 PM & 7:00 PM @ Ruth Eckerd Hall
Join us as the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts takes the stage at Ruth Eckerd Hall for A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. Performances are directed by Jack Holloway, Drama Department Chair with musical direction by Yohance Wicks, Music Department Chair and director of the in-house Ruth Eckerd Hall Chorus.
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 laugh fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity and slamming doors.
This unforgettable, hysterical musical allows a terrific ensemble of comedic actors to shine – "something for everyone, a comedy tonight!"
Tickets are $20. Miliatary and Student discount available at ticket office.
