The design team for A Funny Thing Happened... includes sets by Lauren Helpern, costumes byKaye Voyce, lighting by Matthews Richards, and sound by Tony winner Darron L West.
In A Funny Thing Happened..., a foul-mouthed twenty-something comedian and a middle-aged man embroiled in a nasty divorce are brought together unexpectedly when their cancer-stricken mothers become roommates in the hospital. Together, this unlikely duo must negotiate some of life's biggest challenges... while making some of the world's most inappropriate jokes. Can these two very lost people learn to laugh through their pain and lean on each other when all they really want to do is run away?
