Murder, Mayhem, and Laughs at Kearney High School

Get ready for an evening of laughter, mayhem, and theatrical disaster as Kearney High School Theatre presents The Play That Goes Wrong at the KHS Auditorium.

This hilarious production kicks off even before the curtain rises, as the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society scrambles to prepare their latest show — the 1920s murder mystery Murder at Haversham Manor. With an unfinished set, missing props, and a series of escalating disasters, the cast soldiers on in a performance where everything that can go wrong, does.

From collapsing scenery to disappearing actors — and even a few moving corpses — the chaos builds with each passing scene. As the calamities mount and the acting becomes increasingly absurd, audiences are left wondering: will anyone make it to the final curtain still standing?

Don't miss this side-splitting theatrical experience that's sure to leave you in stitches! Performances of The Play That Goes Wrong are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday, May 2; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 3; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 4.

Tickets are available now at https://our.show/the-play-that-goes-wrong.
