“Laughing Stock”
Lots of fun has settled in at The Little Theatre of Alexandria. Its
current production of “Laughing Stock,” is set in a New England summer
stock barn theatre, where a group of reluctant actors come together as a troupe
to present three plays, “Hamlet,” “Charley’s Aunt” and “Dracula.” The audience
is treated to all the backstage mishaps and there are plenty when the plays are
working on a shoe string budget. This is definitely an ensemble cast led by writer,
actor, producer Gordon Page, played by Lars Klores. The play is a bit confusing
in the first act, but comes together in the second act as the performers
improve and the props appear when they’re supposed to and the various sound
effects and lights occur on time, Lots of laughs in “Laughing Stock”
which was directed by Sharon Byers. It runs through Sept 26. For more
information and tickets, call 703-683-0496 and check the website at www.thelittletheatre.com. Coming up
next at LTA is another comedy, “The
Allergist’s Wife.”
