Something Rotten
2023-12-01 19:30 - 21:30, 2023-12-02 19:30 - 21:30 | Lester Centre of the Arts, 1100 McBride St, Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada
SHOW DETAILS
Location: Lester Centre of the Arts
Doors open at 7pm, show starts 7:30pm – 9:30pm November 30th, December 1st, December 2nd.

Set during the English Renaissance, Something Rotten follows brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom through their wacky attempts at finding success in Shakespeare’s shadow. With the help of a slightly inaccurate soothsayer, the brothers set off to write the first ever musical – with absurd but entertaining results.
Full of clever and witty writing, an upbeat original score, and a cast of characters who are as clueless as they are hilarious, this is musical comedy at its finest!
Presented by the Charles Hays Secondary School’s fine arts program. Due to some suggestive language and content, this show is rate PG-13.
