The Play That Goes Wrong

Performances
July 24, 25 and 31
August 1 and 2

From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
Directed by Russ Ellis and Jay Sydow

A Little about us

For over forty years The Village Players have been entertaining with comedy, mysteries, song and dance, and plays that make you stop and think. Each year we present two or three plays, and a full-scale musical. We own and maintain our theater building, an 1880s structure originally built as a church. With extensive renovation and tender care, we have turned it into a comfortable air-conditioned theater with tiered seating, and theatrical lighting and sound systems. There are innumerable ways to get involved in The Village Players from acting, to set building to costume design, to managing ushers and box office. Community theater gets teens away from their screens, keeps the older folks actively engaged in work, and welcomes a range of talents, educational backgrounds, and life experiences. All ages mix in our productions, and theater people make lots of new friends!
