Theatre Harrisburg - Krevsky Center — Attraction in Susquehanna Township

I am not affiliated with the troupe or the theater or anything, I am just someone who was looking for something fun to do with my family. We decided to go to the Whitaker Center to see A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum by the Theater Harrisburg company. Now, I have seen lots of plays and musicals from high schools to community theater, to road shows to bigger venues like Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and of course Broadway. I don't really try to compare the different levels of productions to each other because they aren't the same. Still, sometimes they are pretty bad, and you find yourself applauding just because you feel so bad for the actors who are trying so hard, but just aren't being successful.

This was an excellent production from a smaller community group! I was sort of expecting some Waiting For Guffman moments, but it really wasn't like that at all. The actors we're well-rehearsed, practiced, articulate, and could sing well (even the more difficult Sondheim stuff.) The casting was very good. Some actors we're better than others (this is especially noticeable when actors are on stage, but not speaking.) Some had excellent comedic timing, some less so, but none were actually bad. The orchestra was fine as well

The biggest disappointment of the night was the audience. Those of us there were engaged and having a great time. But there weren't enough of us! It was sad to me that folks don't more fully support their local theater. It only gets better with more support. So spend what you would on a nice dinner or movie instead on your own community.

I am trying to help spread the word that these was a fine local show, and the folks involved are doing a great job. I only moved to Harrisburg recently and only love here part-time, but I look forward to seeing...

Theater Harrisburg is probably the best place to go for a live theater in the Harrisburg Area ever. If you do not go to this place you are missing a great opportunity for a cultural experience that you'll never forget. The next time I go I hope i have a cute date that...

I love these intimate performances. Ive been to 2 so far and they have clean restrooms and a nice seating area in the lobby. They typically offer snacks and wine for donation, which I love! I will donate all night long for a place like tbis (and I do 😉). Highly...
