Tyler Civic Theatre Center is pleased to announce an added attraction for Thursday, July 9, opening night of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
To enhance the Roman theme, the Inspyre Fire Troupe will perform outside the theater at 400 Rose Park Drive from 6:50 to 7:15 p.m. Before taking their seats for the 7:30 curtain, audience members (and passersby) may enjoy the spectacular entertainment the Inspyre Fire Troupe offers with live flames.
Forum, a Tony winner in both its original and revival forms, offers hilarious comedy mixed with Stephen Sondheim music. The actors will entertain audiences for 12 performances over three weekends: July 9-12, 16-19, and 23-26.
