"This is a play like no other," said Garrett Messick, a freshman at Elizabethtown Area High School (EAHS), describing "The Play That Goes Wrong." "It'll leave you on the edge of your seat the whole time, and you'll be begging for more when it's over."

EAHS will present the show on Thursday, Nov. 9, at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, Nov. 11, at 1 and 7 p.m. at the high school, 600 E. High St., Elizabethtown.

"The play is about the Cornley Drama Society and their production of 'The Murder at Haversham Manor,'" explained sophomore Hannah Taylor. "But, while the cast does their best to keep the show going, things just keep going wrong. Sets fall apart, unsuspecting understudies are thrown on stage and even more hits these unfortunate actors."

Sophomore Josie Sirinides portrays a member of the stage crew of the play within the play and finds herself in a starring role, despite not wanting the spotlight. "This show is hilarious," Josie noted. "The audience is just immediately thrown into all the chaos, and it really doesn't get old. At every turn, there is something new. It's really an entertaining show for kids and adults alike."

Senior Olivia Gable said the comedy never stops throughout the play. "Everything that happens within the show just builds up, making the ending just as funny as the beginning," she stated. "We have worked so hard to prepare for this show, and we are so excited for everyone to come see it go wrong."

To pull off the failing play that the characters are in, the students had to practice on-stage stunts such as trips and falls, and the set had to be constructed in a unique way, allowing for pieces to break and fall apart as needed. "Audiences can expect a lot of physical comedy while watching the show," said junior Brendan Fritz.

Through it all, no matter how bad things get as the play goes wrong, the humor never leaves the stage, said Hannah. "It has been such a blast to work on, and it will be just as much fun watching it from the audience," she remarked. "If you like laughing and leaving the theater feeling joyful, then you will love 'The Play That Goes Wrong.'"
