The Bergen County Players will present the laugh-out-loud comedy Play On! at the Little Firehouse Theatre in Oradell, February 7 through February 28. Often described as a “love letter to community theater,” Play On! gives audiences a rare double feature: the play as it’s meant to be performed… and the play as it is actually performed.
The show follows a community theater troupe attempting to stage a mystery titled Murder Most Foul. The challenge? The playwright keeps changing the script, adding new scenes, new characters, and even a new killer…right up until opening night! The chaos unfolds across three acts: A disastrous early rehearsal, a near-catastrophic dress rehearsal, and the actual performance, where everything goes wrong in the most hilarious way possible. From diva meltdowns to technical disasters, the show captures the universal truth that no matter how much rehearsal you have, live theater always finds a way to surprise you.
Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm. Find more information and purchase ticket here. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 201-261-4200 or by visiting the box office at 298 Kinderkamack Road in Oradell during regular box office hours.
