Overview

Synopsis

A simple one-act production of The Wizard of Oz gets derailed by missed cues, forgotten lines, and a renegade sound board op who refuses to play anything but dinosaur noises. A tin man who can't figure out which scene he is in? Check! Embarrassingly loud and proud parents? Check! When Bad Things Happen to Good Actors is a comedy that proves, when it comes to live theatre, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and it will be hilarious.
