Director Lisa Sherouse, who has brought "The Producers" and "Sweeney Todd," among many other hit shows to the School Street Playhouse, is at it again with "Something Rotten!"

"Something Rotten!" is a musical comedy that turns the Renaissance on its head. Brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are struggling playwrights living in the shadow of the rock star of their day: William Shakespeare. Like "The Producers," "Something Rotten!" reveals the absurdity of show business through a pair of well-meaning, but thoroughly out of their depth, protagonists as they attempt to create a theatrical masterpiece (or at least a commercially successful one).

"Something Rotten!" (by John O'Farrell and Karey Kirkpatrick) opens Sept. 19th and continues through Oct. 12th. Thursday, Friday & Saturday shows start at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday shows begin at 2:30 p.m. Click here to purchase tickets to any performance.
