Based on the plays of Plautus "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written, the perfect escape from life's troubles. "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom. Songs include "Comedy Tonight," "Lovely," and many more! A Tony award winner!

Auditions are open to the public, and stage experience is not necessary. Readings will be from the script and a copy is available at the reference desk at the New Smyrna Beach library. For add'l information contact the LT office at 386-423-1246 or e-mail info@NsbPlayers.org.
