Program

In “Rehearsals,” the fictitious Wilmertown Community Theatre is busy preparing its production of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband– but, in the tradition of community theater, problems abound from early onin the rehearsal process. With memory-challenged actors, feuds and flirtations among the cast, no budget, and a stage manager who's losing it, the backstage antics threaten to spill onto the stage as the show tumbles towards a catastrophic opening night. It will take a miracle to bring it all together. Will the show go on? written by Kernersville playwright Bill Cissna.
