Something Rotten!
When: Nov 6 - 15 - Fri - Sun
Time: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 3:30pm
Something Rotten! is a high-energy musical comedy set in the Renaissance, with music and lyrics by Karey Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick. It follows the Bottom brothers—struggling playwrights desperate to outshine the wildly popular William Shakespeare—as they set out to create the world’s very first musical. Packed with outrageous humor, show-stopping numbers, and clever nods to Broadway, it’s a joyful celebration of theatre and the pursuit of artistic success.
