Pantochino Teen Theatre is designed to give young actors, age 13 to 18,  the opportunity to work with professionals in learning, rehearsing and performing a fully realized production, outside of the school or academic situation. Weekly Saturday (and a few Sunday) rehearsals are fast-paced and intensive, giving young actors the experience of a professional rehearsal schedule.  Past productions have included “The Prom,” “We Will Rock You,” “Grease,” “Bat Boy, “ “The SpongeBob Musical,” “Runways,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” “Bubble Boy,” “Young Frankenstein,” "Go-Go Beach," Urinetown," "Starmites," "Into the Woods Jr.," "Zombie Prom," “Xanadu Jr.” and “Godspell Jr.”  Pantochino Teen Theatre begins rehearsal each year just after the holiday season. Pantochino's Summer Teen Theatre is a two-week program providing the same intensive, professional experience.

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM

Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a nonstop laugh fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful courtesan for his young master, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors and a showgirl or two! This unforgettable, hysterical musical allows a terrific ensemble of comedic actors to shine – "something for everyone, a comedy tonight!" Tickets are on sale now.
