BRAMPTON - Get ready for a hilarious romp with the Flower City Theatre Festival's main stage presentation of the musical comedy A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

Running Aug. 1 to 10, the award-winning farce takes the characters and costumes of ancient Rome and sets them against modern day comedy and music.

The show tells the bawdy story of a slave named Pseudolous and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door.

Audiences should brace for non-stop laughs as many classic elements of farce come into play. Clever puns, a two-tiered set with many doors and cases of mistaken identity are all incorporated in the story.

Add to that madcap chases, sleeping potions and superstition, and the result is a comedic and music masterpiece.

A cast of reputed talent will sing and dance for local audiences.

This is an evening of animated theatre and merriment not to be missed.

For tickets and show times, call the 905-874-2800.
