Press release
The Crawford Theatre Company will present the classic musical comedy, ‘A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum’ at 8 p.m. on April 7, 8, 9 and at 2 p.m. on April 10. Performances will be held at the Bucyrus Elks, 309 E Mansfield Street.
Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. ‘A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum’ takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville.
‘A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum’ is a non-stop laugh-fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan named Philia, for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors, and a showgirl or two.
This unforgettable, hysterical musical allows a terrific ensemble of comedic actors to shine–“something for everyone, a comedy tonight!”
Tickets are $15. Reservations can be made by calling 419-562-0404 or at the box office located at MB Subculture, 127 S. Sandusky Ave.
