The Play's the Thing -- The Actors' NET of Bucks County continues its fourteenth season with the hilarious classic farce, The Play's the Thing. NET Artistic Director Cheryl Doyle directs P.G. Wodehouse's adaptation of Ferenc Molnar's comic work. During the 1920s, a playwright and his collaborator bring a young composer in love with the leading lady of an upcoming musical to a weekend retreat at an Italian castle. The trio overhear the leading lady having a dalliance with another man. The show will close on March 14.

The jilted composer vows to kill the production. Overnight, the playwright invents a new story line to save the show -- convincing the lovestruck young man that what they overheard was actually only a rehearsal of dialogue from a play. Will the lie work?
