“Harlequinade” is a delightful farce about theater life. A backstage comedy reminiscent of the more farcical “Noises Off,” the action takes place backstage as a troupe prepares a traveling production of “Romeo and Juliet,” with some well-seasoned actors in the lead roles. Everything goes wrong — from the aging Romeo, Gosport, having great difficulty climbing down from the balcony to real-life problems. Years ago married and fathered a daughter before he married his present wife. The daughter, her husband and baby appear backstage, eager to meet the famous actor for the first time. The only problem is, he never divorced Wife No. 1. Harlequinade” is a fast-paced, romp which will have the audience laughing through the entire show.Tickets are $45 per person for general admission seating.
