The Play That Goes Wrong
Written By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields
Grants Pass High School Theatre Department presents their Fall play: "The Play That Goes Wrong," playing for two weekends, November 8th-17th, at the Grants Pass High School Performing Arts Center.
​
Welcome to opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, "The Murder at Haversham Manor," where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1940s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show— a set that won’t stay together, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the dedicated thespians battle through rapidly unraveling scenes, proving that the show must go on—even if it’s a complete disaster! Perfect for audiences of all ages, this laugh-out-loud production celebrates the joy of theater in the most comically chaotic way. This award-winning comedy is sure to be a smash hit— literally!
​
"The Play That Goes Wrong" showcases a talented cast and crew of 35 students from Grants Pass High School. Directed by Denise Baker and produced by Tianna Eddy, the production features Wayd Drake as Technical Director and Set Designer, Ruth Sears as Costume Designer, and August Duewel as Prop Designer. The production is facilitated by Julia Cuppy who leads the GPHS Theatre Department, which offers comprehensive training in all aspects of theatre. For this play, special workshops are being conducted by local Stage Manager Jeff Baker, Fight Choreographer Amy Lizardo, and Intimacy Coach Gabrielle Hahn.
​
Performances will take place at the Grants Pass Performing Arts Center on November 8th-17th, with Friday and Saturday shows at 7:00 PM and Sunday shows at 2:00 PM.
