On tap this week we’re kicking off a new series of the ART TAP podcast called “Pre-Show.” Pre-Show will offer early looks at upcoming MainStage productions at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette. We’ll talk with directors, performers, planners, and designers and get a preview of what’s about to take the stage at the historic Monon Depot Theatre.
The Play That Goes Wrong is a 2012 play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields. It opens at Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette on Thursday, September 8th and runs through Saturday, September 17th. Go to lafayettecivic.org for information and tickets.
The Play That Goes Wrong is billed as a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s a laugh riot…
… and, we’re finding, it’s a hell of a challenging show to prepare for. But all is well I assure you, and this show will knock people out of their seats.
I spoke with some of the cast of this wonderful, ridiculous show – Annalyse Ewing (plays Annie the stage manager), Richie Stephan (plays Robert/Thomas Colleymoore), Helen Sorensen (plays Sandra/Florence Colleymoore), and Amelia Goins, who is our real-life stage manager for this play about a play-within-a-play.
I want to thank the sponsor for this month’s podcast, Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette, located on the corner of 5th & North Street in downtown Lafayette, Indiana, at the historic Monon Depot Theatre. Civic Theatre is one of the oldest continuously active theatre organizations in Indiana, founded in 1931 and proudly presenting their 91st season!
