The New York Times calls this Michael Frayn masterpeice, “The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy... A spectaculary funny, peerless backstage farce...”. Enter the wacky world of theatre as you travel from dress rehersal, to opening night, to the final performance with a cast that has just as much drama off stage as they do on it!
The Poplar Pike Playhouse at Germantown High School presents a full season of theatrical productions in its 300 seat on-campus theatre facility. Since its inception in 1976, the Playhouse has provided more than 100 theatrical shows viewed by over 200,000 people in its nearly 40 year history. The yearly roster of events includes two mainstage shows, several acting festivals, a touring children's theatre companyand additional small ensemble presentations. Students not only perform on the stage, but they also are responsible for every element of the theatre operation, including the technical as well as the business side of the program. The theatre has state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment and a business office that is computer-assisted and staffed year round by student volunteers.
