The Very Little Theatre continues its 76th season with the entertaining comedy Footlight Frenzy.

Footlight Frenzy is a zany comedy that takes place in the auditorium of the Rye School for Unusual Children on a recent Friday evening during a benefit performance of Tarnished Silver, Tony Langdon's searing tragedy in four acts. We see the woes of a professional director (who also wrote the play) dealing with a well-meaning but assorted group of amateur school personnel who in turn bring their own special talents of ineptness to the stage.  The school principal arrives thinking it is a dress rehearsal, his neurotic wife, head of the PTA, has decided she wants another baby as the first two children didn't turn out so well; and the school treasurer is constantly trying to get a date while the janitor has eyes for the acting teacher who in turn wants to go to Hollywood.  All may have been well if not for the knowledge that a famous Broadway producer has shown up looking for a husband and wife acting team.  With this news the director (and playwright) Tony Langdon becomes somewhat maniacal as each new problem has to be solved.

If you are looking for entertainment for the sheer joy of laughing then join us in watching the cast of Footlight Frenzy perform the tragedy, Tarnished Silver in order to save their very special school.
