  • A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum by Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

    Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    Inspired by the farces of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus (251–183 BC), specifically Pseudolus, Miles Gloriosus, and Mostellaria, the musical tells the bawdy story of a slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door. The title derives from a line often used by vaudeville comedians to begin a story: "A funny thing happened on the way to the theater".

    Butterflies Are Free

    Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    Loosely based on the life of attorney Harold Krents, the plot revolves around a blind man living in downtown Manhattan whose controlling mother disapproves of his relationship with a free-spirited hippie. The title was inspired by a passage in Charles Dickens' Bleak House: "I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free. Mankind will surely not deny to Harold Skimpole what it concedes to the butterflies."

    The Mousetrap

    Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    The Mousetrap is a murder mystery play by Agatha Christie. The Mousetrap opened in London's West End in 1952, and has been running continuously since then. The longest running West End show, it has by far the longest initial run of any play in history, with its 25,000th performance taking place on 18 November 2012.[1] The play is known for its twist ending, which the audience are traditionally asked not to reveal after leaving the theatre.

  • Till Death Do Us... & Adaptation by Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    Till Death Do Us... & Adaptation

    Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    Till Death Do Us... - We are especially proud to present Till Death Do Us..., an original script by Carter Lewis. This play was written last winter as part of the Otterbein College requirements for "Graduation with Distinction," and the play was presented in the Workshop Theatre.

    Adaptation - This is a contest, played like Parcheesi, in which the contestant advances or is sent back through the seven ages of man. The Author has written a parody of life with such incisiveness that it becomes life Swift in its barbs.

  • See How They Run by Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    See How They Run

    Otterbein University Theatre and Dance Department

    See How They Run is an English comedy in three acts by Philip King. Its title is a line from the nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice". It is considered a farce for its tense comic situations and headlong humour, heavily playing on mistaken identity, doors, and vicars. In 1955 it was adapted as a film starring Roland Culver.
