Comedy tonight!

Get ready for a night of pure hilarity with A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum! This Tony Award-winning musical farce, with a brilliant score by Stephen Sondheim, is a fast-paced romp through ancient Rome, packed with mistaken identities, outrageous disguises, and nonstop laughs.

Inspired by classic Roman comedies, Forum follows Pseudolus, a clever and scheming slave, as he attempts to win his freedom by helping his lovesick master woo the girl next door. But with over-the-top characters, unexpected twists, and riotous misunderstandings, chaos quickly ensues! Featuring unforgettable songs like “Comedy Tonight” and “Everybody Ought to Have a Maid,” this uproarious production guarantees an evening of sheer entertainment.

Don’t miss this sidesplitting theatrical gem at the Renaissance Theatre—where comedy, music, and mayhem take center stage!
