On the Razzle
The Georgia Southern University Theater Department is proud to present a
rousing adaptation of the hit English comedy ‘On the Razzle’ April 10th through
April 14th at the Performing Arts Center. This 19th Century farce was instrumental
in the development of such productions as ‘The Merchant of Yonkers’, ‘The
Matchmaker’ and the hit 1969 romantic comedy ‘Hello Dolly’. This witty gem,
filled with campy charm and side-splitting hoopla, is sure to provide laughs for all
ages. ‘On the Razzle’ is directed by Jim Harbour & Brandon Muggy and will be
Harbour’s final production here at GSU.
Call 912-478-7999 to purchase tickets.
