Line Up for Laughs at New BSTC Show

March 27, 2016

The Boston Globe said it had an “unrelentingly funny plot,” and the theater critic for the Post-Standard in upstate Syracuse said it was “The funniest two hours of theater I have seen in several years.”

The show they’re talking about – “Unnecessary Farce” – is now coming here for three nights: March 31 – April 2, in the Little Theater at Roosevelt Hall. All shows begin at 8 p.m. Admission is free for FSC students with a current ID, and $10 for everyone else. Tickets must be purchased in advance; none will be sold at the door.

The laughs start now, when you read this description of the plot: “Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.”

Writer/actor Paul Slade Smith is the author. The show – winner of nine regional theater awards – has been produced 200 times, across the U.S. and on stages worldwide. Cailin Kless directs the BSTC production.
