Bloomington High School North Theatre and Fine Arts Department Present
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
Produced by Francesca Sobrer
Costumes by Judy Downey

Directed by Sarah Miller
This year’s Spring Musical, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM Performances run April 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 2014, all with 7:30 curtain.
Inspired by the farces of ancient Roman playwright, Plautus, this rollicking musical tells the tale of a slave Pseudolus and his his attempt to barter for his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door. Hilarity ensues with mistaken identity and its resulting confusion, classic puns, and what farce would be complete without the slamming of doors?
