Join us for the crazy backstage shenanigans of When Bad Things Happen to Good Actors. Performances are February 27-28.
In this student-directed show, a simple one-act production of The Wizard of Oz gets derailed by missed cues, forgotten lines, and a pushy stage mother who believes her daughter should be the star of the show. This zany comedy proves that, when it comes to live theatre, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong...and it will be hilarious.
When Bad Things Happen to Good Actors will perform at the EGRHS Little Auditorium at the following dates and times:
Friday, February 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
