Synopsis
It’s three days until opening night—and the theatre is in full panic mode! The set is only half standing, props and costumes are MIA, the light and sound crew are off filming a wedding, and the playwright is one minor inconvenience away from total collapse. Welcome to tech week… gone terribly, hilariously wrong.
 
Stir in an actress with a fiercely jealous boyfriend, a stage manager who runs rehearsal like a military operation, a method actor who takes things way too seriously, and a techie casually firing up power tools mid-scene, and chaos reigns supreme. Come backstage for a fast-paced comedy that celebrates every theatrical nightmare imaginable, as a frazzled cast and crew attempt the impossible: getting the show ready before the curtain goes up!
