ABOUT ABOUT

Box Office Opens at 7:00 pm; Show starts at 8:00 pm.

In the event of rain, this show will be moved inside the Barn.

A middle-aged artistic director, of a summer stock barn theater in New Hampshire, embarks on taking the random and comical cast and crew on a wild ride that includes giant mosquitoes, eccentric directors and a very limited budget while the group gallantly attempts to keep the theater from going under. Laughing Stock gives audiences a backstage look at a ragtag troupe of actors, and their backstage mischief, as they attempt to stage three repertory productions. Hamlet, Charley’s Aunt and Dracula which have never been performed like this! This show is a hectic and hilarious testament to theaters everywhere that never seem to have enough time, staff, money or talent to pull off the show, yet in the end, everyone gives it their all. It captures the magic of theater, showing how the art form tells a story while at the same time creating a temporary family amongst the cast and crew no matter where, and how, the show goes on.
