Laughing Stock

The Yale Dramatic Association’s Freshman Show 2009!Laughing Stock is a comedy that focuses on the exploits of the Playhouse Theatre Company, a summer stock theatre group that performs in the beautiful New Hampshire countryside. In a barn.When The Playhouse schedules a repertory season of Dracula, Hamlet, and Charley’s Aunt, comic mayhem ensues. We follow the well-intentioned but over-matched company from outrageous auditions to ego-driven rehearsals through opening nights gone disastrously awry to the elation of a great play well told and the comic and nostalgic season close.
