The Gods of Comedy opens March 10

Posted: Sunday, March 5, 2023, 5:50am

Nine out of ten doctors recommend going to see The Gods of Comedy to get a healthy workout for your funny bone!

Tickets are now on sale for this hilarious show directed by Cathy Cordy and featuring performances by Randy Benge (Dionysus), Tiarra Dapo (Daphne), Julie Emmert-Silvius (Dean Trickett), Brian Henry (Aristide/Alexsi/Ares), Lynne Rouzer (Thalia), Daniel Sawtelle (Ralph), & Heather Schultz (Brooklyn/Zoe).

The story: A Classics professor at one of the greatest universities in America finds a long-lost manuscript by Euripides that makes him famous throughout the world. And then his fellow professor accidentally loses it.  So, she calls on the Ancient Greek Gods of Comedy to get her out of the mess. For young professor Daphne Rain, the first surprise is that the gods show up.  And the second surprise is that any two people – even if they are gods – can wreak so much havoc on one university. The Ivy League will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounters the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption.

Pay-what-you-will Preview Night is Thursday, March 9 @ 8pm.  There will be eight performances of The Gods of Comedy: Mar. 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, & 25, 2023 at 8:00PM and two matinees – Mar. 19 & 26, 2023 at 2:00PM. Tickets available at curtainplayers.org.
