Thank you for your interest in joining our company! We want to welcome you to Finneytown Theatre and are excited that you wish to learn more about auditions for our fall production of When Bad Things Happen to Good Actors taking place in November 2026.
By: Ian McWethy and Jason Pizzarello
A simple one-act production of The Wizard of Oz gets derailed by missed cues, forgotten lines, constant interruptions, and chaotic energy. A comedy that proves, when it comes to live theatre, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong...and it will be hilarious.
