Prattville’s Way Off Broadway Theatre is excited to announce the upcoming production of the hilarious Noël Coward play Present Laughter set to open on September 21.
Director Melissa Strickland has assembled an amazing cast for this uproariously funny play about an aging star of the London theatrical scene at the height of his fame and adored by legions of admirers — perhaps a little too much. Juggling his considerable talent, ego and libido, the star finds himself caught between fawning ingénues, a crazed playwright, secret rendezvouses and unexpected twists, all in the middle of a midlife crisis!
Congratulations to the cast and crew of Way Off Broadway Theatre’s production of Present Laughter.
