Tickets: Pay-What-You-Can
Lights, Camera, Mayhem!
It’s complete chaos behind the curtain! From the acclaimed creator of Smash comes a bitingly witty comedic satire about Broadway dreams and backstage nightmares. When Harry, a hapless understudy, Roxanne, a frazzled stage manager, and Jake, an up-and-coming Hollywood hunk collide in rehearsal for a newly discovered Kafka masterpiece, things begin to spiral spectacularly out of control. As tempers flare, tensions rise and the stoned stage crew goes rogue, a routine run-through turns into a full-blown disaster. Will the show still go on? Get ready for misplaced props, oversized egos and lots of laughs in this show perfect for theatre lovers and haters alike.
All tickets are Pay-What-You-Can! The means we don't decide the price, you do! Our "sweet spot" would be about $25 per person; if you are on a budget, pay less, and if you are able to pay more, please do!
