A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
February 26 – March 14
Fridays at 8pm · Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm
Special Saturday evening performance March 13 at 8pm
Comedy tonight! This Tony Award-winning musical is non-stop slapstick, mistaken identities, and ancient Roman chaos — and it never gets old.
Pseudolus is a slave with one burning ambition: his freedom. His plan? Help his young master Hero win the heart of the gorgeous courtesan next door — if only the girl's owner, her other suitors, the boy's overbearing parents, and the sheer force of chaos itself would cooperate. What ensues is a glorious avalanche of puns, pratfalls, disguises, and the kind of perfectly timed lunacy that can only exist on a stage.
With music and lyrics by the legendary Stephen Sondheim and a book built on the farcical traditions of ancient Roman comedy, Forum is one of the most purely fun musicals ever written. There's no message, no moral — just two hours of unrelenting comic brilliance. Bring the family, bring your friends, and prepare to laugh until it hurts.
Content Advisory: Classic farce with innuendo, slapstick humor, and suggestive situations. Generally suitable for teens and adults.
