A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Apr 4, 2025 – Apr 13, 2025
Art Factory Presents a Fresh Take on Sondheim’s A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM!

The nine-time Tony Award-winning 1962 musical, largely centered on gender roles and sexism, is given a fresh new take at Art Factory with an all female cast! Based on the farces of Plautus, …FORUM transports us to a small corner of ancient Rome, where neighbors Marcus Lycus, Erronius, and Senex live in three adjacent houses. Pseudolus, a slave belonging to Senex’s son, Hero, yearns to be free and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. When Hero tells him that he is in love with the beautiful courtesan Philia, whom he often sees in the window of the House of Lycus, Pseudolus promises to help him win Philia’s love in exchange for his freedom. This hysterical musical romp twists and turns at a breakneck pace, leaving audiences with comic whiplash once we reach the finale!
