Due to breakthrough cases in the company, all remaining performances of The Play That Goes Wrong in Chicago have been cancelled. 

I stepped into the audition room for The Play That Goes Wrong with trepidation. It was my first in person audition since 2020 and my nerves were on edge. In preparation, I remember reading and re-reading the script and there were moments I literally could not stop howling with laughter (every time!). I’d never seen the show and I decided not to see it as I wanted to go into the room with no biases.

1812 Productions, Philadelphia's all comedy theatre company, has announced their 2022-2023 season of laughs coming to Plays & Players Theatre in Center City, Philadelphia.

Since theatre has returned to New York City, I have seen many different shows. I’ve been to musicals, plays, and even interactive shows. But nothing can compare to one of the modern classic plays, The Play That Goes Wrong. I’ve been lucky enough to see it twice over the past two months, and even knowing all of the twists and turns, the second performance ended up being just as entertaining, if not more, than the first! Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Chris Lanceley, who plays “Jonathan” in the off-Broadway production of The Play That Goes Wrong at New World Stages.
