A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum playing now through Sunday at the Averitt

Get ready to laugh! From October 12th through 15thour talented community thespians will bring you A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Directed by Robert Cottle, this musical is a nonstop laughfest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave (played by the hilarious Kyle Stivers), struggles to win the hand of a beautiful, but slow-witted, courtesan named Philia (Rachel Elkins) for his young master, Hero (Joshua Davis), 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!” 

Thursday through Saturday shows are at 7:30pm. The Sunday show starts at 3pm. Tickets are just $25 and can be purchased online here.
