“The Play That Goes Wrong” was written by Henry Lewis, Henry Shields and Jonathan Sayer. The KHS production was directed by Language Arts Teacher Haley Kernes and features a crew of outstanding students on stage and behind the scenes.

The play begins before the curtain has even been raised, as the audience is present while the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society prepare to stage their new production, a 1920s murder. There’s a murder (and a moving corpse), the props start to disappear, actors go missing and the set begins to collapse. Mayhem ensues, but the company struggles on regardless. The question is whether any of the cast and crew will remain standing, or conscious, by the final curtain?!

All ticket sales help support the KHS Theatre program, which provides unique extracurricular learning opportunities for students who are interested in the performing arts. Get your tickets today!
