DPH_The One Act Play That Goes WrongTHE ONE ACT PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Dayton Playhouse
Nov. 10-19
[Dayton]

Directed by Ray Gambrel

Cast: Jordan Ostrum as Chris/Inspector Carter, Hayley Penchoff as Annie, Caleb Boquist as Trevor, David Meadows as Jonathan/Charles Haversham, Brandon Shockney as Robert/Thomas Colleymore, Eli Chamberlin as Dennis/Perkins, Chase Niemitalo as Max/Cecil Haversham & Katie Waid as Sandra/Florence Colleymore

From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the original version, 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 results!

As Lysistrata waits for the women of Sparta, Thebes, and other areas to meet her she curses the weakness of women. Lysistrata plans to ask the women to refuse sex with their husbands until a treaty for peace has been signed. Lysistrata has also made plans with the older women of Athens (the Chorus of Old Women) to seize the Akropolis later that day….  As the women sacrifice a bottle of wine to the Gods in celebration of their oath, they hear the sounds of the older women taking the Akropolis, the fortress that houses the treasury of Athens. Contains adult themes and references.
