Ever see a trainwreck of a live production and wonder what went on behind the curtain? “ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED BY BEING IN A BAD PLAY” gives you a free ticket to peel back our tattered stage curtain and see the chaos that ensues from audition, to casting and rehearsals to the ultimate travesty of “Romeo and Juliet” put on by our nutty cast.
