The Play That Goes Wrong

One of the funniest play-within-a-play productions ever to gloriously fail in full view of an audience, “The Play That Goes Wrong” will run September 11 through 27, 2026 at the Racine Theatre Guild. A smashing success where everything, quite literally, comes crashing down as the curtain attempts to rise on the Cornley Drama Society’s ill-fated opening night of “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” Throughout the night, things go from bad to catastrophically disastrous as the leading lady is knocked unconscious, the corpse can’t play dead, the crew are thrown into battle, and the actors trip over everything, including their own lines. It’s nothing you want in a show and everything you want in a show as anything that can go wrong, absolutely will with theatrical flair. • Friday, September 11 – 7:30 p.m. • Saturday, September 12 – 7:30 p.m. • Sunday, September 13 – 2 p.m. • Thursday, September 17 – 7 p.m.* • Friday, September 18 – 7:30 p.m. • Saturday, September 19 – 2 & 7:30 p.m. • Sunday, September 20 – 2 p.m. • Thursday, September 24 – 7 p.m.* • Friday, September 25 – 7:30 p.m. • Saturday, September 26 – 2 & 7:30 p.m. • Sunday, September 27 – 2 p.m. *Value Night “The Play That Goes Wrong” is written by Jonathan Sayer, Henry Lewis, and Henry Shields and sponsored in memory of Daniel Spannraft.
