A Musical Farce
August 4 - 21, 2016
Deb Fennell Auditorium at Tigard High School
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Stephen Sondheim’s uproarious tribute to ancient Roman theatre and classic vaudeville, follows crafty slave Pseudolus as he seeks to win his freedom by helping his hapless master, Hero, woo the courtesan next door – who has, unfortunately, been promised to another suitor. Hysteria ensues (quite literally)!
A five-time Tony Award winner (including Best Musical and Best Book) filled with mistaken identities, clever wordplay, and slamming doors, Broadway’s favorite musical farce has stood the test of time, combining fast-paced, irreverent humor with witty, upbeat music to joyously deliver “something for everyone, a comedy tonight!”
For performances August 18 - 21, the role of Pseudolus will be played by Alan Anderson.
Dan Murphy is currently receiving medical treatment for acute pancreatitis and will not be performing. Thank you for your well wishes and healing thoughts for his recovery.
