Play That Goes Wrong at MHS

Minerva High School will present the award-winning comedy “The Play That Goes Wrong!” at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 through 8, with a 2 p.m. matinee Nov. 8. There will be two separate casts alternating performances, with Cast A performing Nov. 6 and 8 at 7 p.m. and Cast B performing Nov. 7 and the Nov. 8 matinee. Join the Cornley University Drama Society as they valiantly attempt to stage a 1920’s murder mystery – only for everything imaginable (and unimaginable) to go hilariously awry. From collapsing sets and misplaced props to miscues and mayhem, the cast and crew’s earnest efforts result in side-splitting disaster. Tickets are available for presale through cast members and the Minerva High School Office, $6 for students and $9 for adults. All tickets sold at the door are $12.
