In a desperate attempt to save their bankrupt "School for Unusual Children", an inexperienced PTA group valiantly mounts an ambitious benefit play, written by a has been Broadway director. His near hysterical direction and the group's questionable talent turn the production into a shambles. Everything that can go wrong does as the scenes shift back and forth from the real tribulations of the performers to the play they are "performing", and it is hard to tell which is sillier. This is fast and furious theatrical fun of the first order, with us watching the fun from the "back" of the stage! Anyone who likes ‘Noises Off' will love Footlight Frenzy.

Footlight Frenzy is written by Ron House, Diz White, Alan Shearman and Bud Slocumb. The show is based on "Fleeting Moment' by House, White, Shearman, Mark Blankenfield, Brandie Kemp and Mitchell Kreindel.

The Copperstate Dinner Theater production of Footlight Frenzy is directed by Copperstate's Producing Director Peter J. Hill. The cast includes Noel Irick, Jessica Godber, Sean Owen and Peter J. Hill.
