NKU School of the Arts
April 11-20
The Carnegie [Covington]

Presenting The Play That Goes Wrong, a side-splitting comedy written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields that is sure to be a sensational hit. From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes a farce about the opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor. The show has everything you never wanted to see, including 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!

Kincaid Regional Theatre Teen Production
March 15-24
[Falmouth, Ky.]

A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop takes us back to the late 1950’s as Rock & Roll is taking the airwaves by storm. Roberta “Ruby” Lester and her friends are spunky teenagers with dreams of making it big in the music business. But sometimes dreams don’t go as planned. When the local radio station announces that “Rock‘n’Roll has got to go”, the kids take a stand for the music they love.

In the tradition of Hairspray, A-Wop Bop A-Loo Bop tells an original story based around real events in the late ’50’s and early ’60’s Rock & Roll era. This show offers plenty of roles, along with a flexible ensemble you can tailor to your casting needs. Featuring hit songs like “Rock Around The Clock”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Tutti Frutti”, “Up On the Roof”, “The Loco-Motion”, “I’m Sorry” and “Land Of 1000 Dances”, this new jukebox musical will get a whole new generation of rockin’ around the clock!
