The Sunset Players announce auditions for their fall show THE GODS OF COMEDY by Ken Ludwig.

Directed by David Roth and Produced by John Wesseling

What’s the show about?

Daphne and Ralph are young  classics professors who have just made a discovery that’s sure to turn them into academic superstars. But something goes disastrously wrong and Daphne cries out in panic, “Save me, gods of ancient Greece”!!… and the gods actually appear! The Ivy league will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounters the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption.
