(ORADELL, NJ) -- Bergen County Players (BCP) presents the hilarious Tony Award-winning hit Broadway comedy The Play That Goes Wrong. In this play, the ‘Cornley University Drama Society’ is putting on a production of 'The Murder at Haversham Manor' and, like the title suggests, a myriad of things go wrong. Performances run from Saturday, February 18 through Saturday, March 11 at the Little Firehouse Theatre in Oradell.

This riotous ‘play-within-a-play’ whodunnit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Audiences can just sit back and bust a gut at all the misplaced props, banged heads, missed cues, pratfalls, door slams, broken fingers and mispronounced words as the show literally falls apart at the seams. Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!

Co-written by Mischief company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, The Play That Goes Wrong was the winner of the 2015 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, “one of the most laugh-filled works that has ever jollied a stage” (NY Stage Review). Ben Brantley of The New York Times called The Play That Goes Wrong “A gut-busting hit.”

The talented cast of The Play That Goes Wrong features Angelina Aragona of Township of Washington, Sean Buckley of Secaucus, Eric Holzer of Montclair, Wes Laga of Wood-Ridge, Nyasia Legra of Rockaway, Dan Loverro of Parsippany, Josh Switala of Allendale, and Craig Woodward of Little Falls.

The production team is comprised of Alyson Cohn (Director), David Luke (Producer), Debbie Zika (Assistant to the Director and Crew Chief), Michele Roth (Assistant to the Director and Stage Manager), Josh Robinson (Set Design), Jim Lesko (Set Construction), Lauren Zenreich (Décor), Rob DeScherer (Sound Design), Allan Seward (Lighting Design), Kathleen Ruland (Lighting Operation), Barry Reed (Sound Operation), Karen Markle (Costumes), Teri Noel (Properties, Running Crew), Joellen Tierney, Laura Dinoia and Terry Cannon (Properties), Paul Aiello (Running Crew), Richard Field (Running Crew and Member-at-Large), Michael Serpe (Stunt Coordinator), Marci K. Weinstein (Program Notes), and Alan Zenreich and Richard Frant (Photography).
