Gotta love a comedy! Rehearsals are underway for this spring’s production, The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong! The show runs March 27-28-29 at the Grantland Theater in Lancaster. Show times are 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday, and 2 pm on Sunday afternoon.
You all know the classic murder mystery story. There’s been an untimely death at a country manor, everyone is a suspect, and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this play is performed by the accident-prone thespians of The Cornley Drama Society, Murphy’s Law rules, and everything that can go wrong…does! Over the course of 75-minutes, expect a plethora of disasters from missed lines to falling props. Do you ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You’ll have to see for yourself!
The cast comprises numerous faces familiar to regular LCP patrons, including Aubrey Vitense and Lisa Nicolai in the female roles; and Shawn Steinhoff and Michael Harding in two of the male roles. LCP is also excited to welcome Adam Wacker and Andy Nalepinski back to stage roles after a too-long absence. You’ll also enjoy LCP newcomer (but experienced actor) Jimmy Whitcomb, and LCP’s regular sound guy Tom Nicolai in a rare on-stage appearance as, well, the sound guy! The One Act Play that Goes Wrong is directed by LCP founding member Ann Dolan, with costuming by Michael Walter, sound design by Tom Nicolai, and set design by Stuart Harper.
