Event Details

The regional premiere of Something Rotten will be presented by Eastlight Theatre at Fon Du Lac Farm Park (located at 305 Neumann Dr. in East Peoria) beginning at 7:30 pm.  Set in the 1590’s, when Shakespeare ruled the scene and was treated like a rock star, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom set out to write a hit play. When Nostradamus predicts that the future of theatre combines acting with singing and dancing, the Bottom brothers make a hilarious attempt at the world’s first musical. Along the way, a romance, a scandal and shenanigans ensue. This comedy includes big song and dance numbers as sixteenth century Shakespeare meets twenty-first century Broadway.  Blankets and lawn chairs are encouraged.  We will have limited bleacher seating on a first-come first-served basis.  General admission seating tickets are $22 and are available online at http://www.eastlighttheatre.com
