SHOW DESCRIPTION
Laughing Stock is a hilarious backstage farce and affectionate look into the world of theatre. When The Playhouse, a rustic New England summer theatre, scheduled a repertory season of Dracula, Hamlet, and Charley’s Aunt, comic mayhem ensues. The play follows the well-intentioned company from outrageous auditions to ego driven rehearsals, through opening nights gone disastrously awry and ends with a great play well told and the comic nostalgic season close
