        Fremont Community Theatre will present its second show of the 2022/2023 season, “The Play that Goes Wrong,” Dec. 2-4 and Dec. 9-11. The theater is located at 1551 Dickinson St., Fremont.
        Curtain time for the comedy production, directed by Tim Bolton, is 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday.
        Individual tickets prices are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors and military members and $8 for students ages 18 and younger.
        For ticket reservations, visit showtix4u.com/event-details/66566 or call the box office hotline at 419-332-0695 and leave a message.
        From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes this smash hit farce about the opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, “The Murder at Haversham Manor,” where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.
        This 1920s whodunit has just about everything – an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences.
