The Tred Avon Players spring show at the Oxford Community Center features Laughing Stock, Charles Morley’s hilarious backstage comedy.

Directed by Zack Schlag.  Laughing Stock is a hilarious farce and genuinely affectionate look into the world of the theatre. When The Playhouse, a rustic New England summer theatre, schedules a repertory season of Dracula, Hamlet, and Charley’s Aunt, comic mayhem ensues. We follow the well-intentioned but over-matched company from outrageous auditions to ego-driven rehearsals through opening nights gone disastrously awry to the elation of a great play well told and the comic and nostalgic season close.

Tickets are $22 for adults, and $11 for students (fees included). May 2 is “Half Price Preview Thursday.”

Performances are Thursday, Friday, & Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with Sunday Matinees at 2:00 p.m.

This program is sponsored in part by revenues from the Talbot County Arts Council, which is funded by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council.
