When a schoolgirl's whisper spreads, it triggers a chain of events with extraordinary consequences.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
Directed by Bruce A. Curless


Vaudeville, comedy, and farce create a laugh riot in this Stephen Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. In a quest to win his freedom, a crafty slave in ancient Rome strives to win the hand of a beautiful courtesan for his master. Mistaken identities, wild chases, bawdy humor, and zany characters add up to outlandish spectacle and irreverent hilarity. The Men from our 2010 production of Spamalot return to bring all the great characters to life.
