Meet some of the SCT musical cast and directors What do they enjoy most about community theatre?

The cast and crew of Springfield Community Theatre’s summer musical are busy putting the final touches on the production.  A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum will go on stage Thursday, August 4 and Friday, August 5 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 7 at 2:00 p.m. in the performing arts center at Springfield Public School.  Advance tickets are available at the Springfield Advance-Press or call 507-723-4225 to reserve them.  Advance tickets are $10.00 and $12.00 at the door.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a Roman comedy, based on the third century Roman playwright, Titus Plautus, who invented all the devices of theatrical comedy, a change from the traditional bloodshed and tragedy in Roman Theatre.  The setting is a street in ancient Rome, in front of three adjacent houses—the House of Lycus, the House of Senex and the House of Erronius.  These “houses” all play a role in the love, trickery and deceit that abounds!

Cast members have been busy memorizing lines and songs and working on stage presence.  They have dedicated six-eight weeks of their summer to do this performance.  Let’s meet some of the cast and see how they respond to the question:  What do you enjoy most about participating in community theatre?
