SHOW SYNOPSIS:

This is the hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty authoress who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does - and when the authoress decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax through a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter!
