ABOUT THE SHOW
One plucky community theatre is about to produce a show called "Murder Most Foul," a new “murder mystery play” with the same title as an Agatha Christie novel but with no relation whatsoever.
The director/theatre manager, Gerry, thought producing the play was a good idea since the inexperienced playwright has agreed to let the company perform the show for no charge.
Gerry, however, had no idea what disasters awaited her: the show is hilariously amateur, the “murder mystery” plot doesn’t really have a murder, and to top it off the playwright keeps changing the story and script only two days from its premiere!
It doesn’t help that the cast is disgruntled, and the playwright accidentally deletes the entire sound effect board.
All of the disasters come to fruition in Act III when the company performs the actual show with hilarious mishaps as every turn.
"PLAY ON!" is a hilarious love letter to community theatre. (STAGEAGENT)
ABOUT THE CANNON THEATRE
THE CANNON THEATRE was founded by Shawn Cannon and Bret Bahe, who shared a dream of creating a community theater – a place for learning, and great plays, a place where people could enjoy the company of others, laugh, and just lose themselves in the joy of artistic expression. Over the years, the theater incorporated, and then became a non-profit organization, managed so that every precious cent made from each production is carefully fed right back into the creation of the next. During the Pandemic of 2020, the theater was forced to close, as their overhead was too high, They began searching for a new space during 2021, and found it in the late summer of 2021.
THE CANNON THEATRE board, which still includes the theater’s very active and passionate founders, invites you to join us and experience this welcoming community, whether as an audience member, an actor, backstage crew, or even director. We guarantee you will leave feeling satisfied!
