To highlight and celebrate its twentieth season, Hershey Area Playhouse will host a 20th Anniversary Cabaret Night on Saturday, Jan. 5, beginning at 7:00 p.m., at the Playhouse, located at the corner of Sand Hill Road and Cherry Drive.

The name Stephen Sondheim is one that conjures excitement in many a theatre enthusiast. His most popular works, such as INTO THE WOODS and SWEENEY TODD, thrive on scathing social commentary and twisting melodies that only the more experienced musicians can follow. However, as this reviewer has come to realize, Sondheim lets his funny bone shine in his lesser known musicals. Theatre Harrisburg brings one of these unfairly forgotten shows to life with their current production of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, and reminds the audience that musicals can be more than drama and heartbreak. In fact, as the opening number 'Comedy Tonight' suggests, FORUM is a far cry from tragedy.

Artistic director Dustin LeBlanc takes to the stage to lead the story of six unemployed steelworkers with a joint dream and more family and economic problems than can be imagined.

CLUE The Musical opens at Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg on June 19, 2015 at 8:00 PM.
