鶹Ƶ Western and Bank of Commerce Performing Art Series Present “The Play That Goes Wrong”
April 2, 2026
鶹Ƶ’s Theatre Program and the Bank of Commerce Performing Arts Series are excited to present “The Play That Goes Wrong” from April 16 to May 2 in 鶹Ƶ’s Beier Auditorium.

After benefitting from a large and sudden inheritance, the inept and accident-prone Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society embark on producing an ambitious 1920s murder mystery. They are delighted that neither casting issues nor technical hitches currently stand in their way. However, hilarious disaster ensues and the cast start to crack under the pressure, but can they get the production back on track before the final curtain falls?
The Play That Goes Wrong is a farcical murder mystery, a play within a play, conceived and performed by award-winning company Theatre Mischief. It was first published as a one-act play and is published in this new edition as a two-act play.
Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, and directed by Stephen Alan Seder, the production is rated PG. It is family-friendly overall but may include mild themes, language, or moments that parents may wish to consider.
Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from April 16 to May 2 in 鶹Ƶ’s Beier Auditorium.
To purchase tickets, please visit the BOC Performing Arts Series Box Office webpage. Admission is $16 for general seating, $12 for seniors (65+), youth (18 & under), and military, $10 for 鶹Ƶ faculty/staff, and free for 鶹Ƶ students with a valid student ID.
