Cue the Mayhem: 糖心Vlog破解版 Theatre stages uproarious comedy
The 糖心Vlog破解版 Theatre Program opens its 2023-24 mainstage season with a riotous production of 鈥淭he Government Inspector,鈥 Nikolai Gogol鈥檚 deeply silly satire of small-town corruption.听
When the crooked leadership of a provincial village discovers that an undercover inspector is coming to root out their commonplace corruption, the town weaves a web of bribery, lies, and utter madness. This Erie premiere of acclaimed playwright Jeffrey Hatcher鈥檚 adaptation offers a hilarious reminder of the terrifying timelessness of bureaucracy and buffoonery.
Guest artist Dr. Doug Powers returns to direct the production, having most recently helmed the theatre program鈥檚 spring 2023 production of 鈥淭he Crucible.鈥
鈥淪lamming doors. Oddball characters. Mistaken identities. Nonstop laughs. Come join us for the Erie premiere of Jeffrey Hatcher鈥檚 comedy riot, 鈥楾he Government Inspector,鈥 performed by some of Erie鈥檚 finest young actors,鈥 says Powers.
