The curtain is rising—and immediately falling—on Olney Central College Theater’s hilarious production of The Play That Goes Wrong, performing November 21–23 at the Dr. John D. Stull Performing Arts Center.
Billed by the Huffington Post as “the funniest play Broadway has ever seen,” this award-winning comedy is a masterclass in theatrical mayhem. Picture this: it’s opening night for The Murder at Haversham Manor, a 1920s whodunit that’s already on life support. The set collapses, props vanish, lines are forgotten, and actors fall victim to their own scenery—all while desperately trying to convince you everything is “going according to plan.” Spoiler: it’s not.
