NAU
Theatre and Theatrikos Theatre Company Join Forces
NAU Theatre and Theatrikos are teaming up this summer to produce Stephen Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.
"Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is Broadway's greatest farce – it 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 combines time-tested situations from the 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the zany antics of classic vaudeville or slapstick comedy. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum 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. This production will combine the talents and resources of NAU Theatre faculty and students with talented and professional community volunteers from Theatrikos to produce a summer show for the Flagstaff community as well as our summer visitors.
The production opens July 10 and will play through July 20 at the Clifford E. White Theatre on the NAU Campus. Tickets will be available through NAU Central Ticket office at 523-5661 or at the door. Ticket prices are $12.00 for students, $15.00 for Senior Citizens and $18.00 for the general public.
