What do you get when a zany cast of community theater actors, who are just four days from opening night, collides with a dim-witted, but egotistical playwright who can’t stop revising the script for an original murder mystery?
The answer is Play On!, the side-splitting comedy that the Town Players of New Canaan will stage starting October 27 at the Powerhouse Performing Arts Center in Waveny Park.
Written by Rick Abbot, Play On!, has been called a love letter to community theater because it is a play-within-a play. The cast members switch back-and-forth between performing in Play On! and a faux show called Murder Most Foul.
