Review: THE PLAY THAT WENT WRONG at The White Theatre
by Alan Portner - Mar 16, 2026
Producing The Play That Goes Wrong at a community-theater level is an act of courage. And the Silver Star with two oak leaf enhancements goes to the White Theatre inside the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park. Seldom before have I seen such an active sold-out crowd in this venue who evidently got exactly what they were looking for with this wacky production.
