Forestburg Curtain Call Theatre’s production of what is going to be at the Bailey on April 5 and 6. The Play That Goes Wrong is presented on Friday, April 5, and Saturday, April 6, with shows at 7:30 p.m.

You know the classic whodunit story–there has been a murder at a country manor and an inspector is set on the case to find who the culprit is. However, when this plot is given to the accident-prone thespians at the Cornley Drama Society, everything that can go wrong…does. “I’m not directly involved in this year’s production, but I have seen the play three times now. It got more hilarious each time I saw it,” said Neil Lunty.

After a successful run in Forestburg, the Forestburg Curtain Call Community Theatre will be bringing their yearly production to the Bailey Theatre. This year’s play is The Play That Goes Wrong, a crazy mixed-up British comedy. It has been playing all over the world.

The play follows the misadventures of the Cornley Drama Society. The society gets together once a year to stage a show, and this time it’s the mystery Murder at Haversham Manor. As the play within the play begins, the cast is already facing a losing battle: forgotten lines, faulty props and broken scenery, make it challenging to put on a show. But if you can believe it, things go from bad to worse: misunderstandings, fires and a collapsing set make it almost impossible. Can the Cornley Drama Society defeat the odds? Or will it all go wrong?

The actors and crew battle against all odds to try to make it through to the final curtain call with hilarious consequences. But do they ever find out who murdered Charles Haversham? You will have to find out.

The enthusiastic Curtain Call group features a cast of veteran and newer performers playing characters who, in turn, are playing characters in the murder mystery.

“Many of the performers have performed at the Bailey before and some have performed with Camrose groups such as the Churchmice. Director Rob Nichols is a seasoned actor and director, having been involved for many years with the Castor and Forestburg dinner theatre groups. He says that this year’s production is the most fun one he has ever been involved with, a sentiment echoed by many of the cast,” shared Lunty.

Tickets are available through the Bailey Theatre Box Office for either dinner and show or for the show only.
