Packed with comedic elements and technical touches, this play within a play stretches the talents of UMW students who act like actors in a murder mystery gone awry. The show \u2013 onstage in Klein Theatre tomorrow, Sept. 21, through Sunday, Oct. 2 \u2013 kicks off a season specifically designed to coax theatregoers into continuing to return to in-person performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe very nature of this play is so different from what people expect from theatre,\u201d said senior computer science and theatre major Ethan Pearson, who\u2019s cast as Chris. \u201cThe dominoes keep falling to make things worse and worse, and you just can&#8217;t wait to see what fails next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walking the line between portraying Max Bennett and the two characters Max plays, was challenging, said Seth Drenning, a junior theatre major with an arts administration minor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis show requires a lot of quick, creative decision-making, so I need to be thinking on my feet at all times,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn&#8217;t see myself a few years ago doing a show like this, but through the skills I&#8217;ve developed in my classes and past productions here, I feel much more confident in my abilities as an actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billed as \u201ca hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes,\u201d <em>The Play That Goes Wrong<\/em> boasts a set so elaborate, Stull said, he considers it an additional character. A variety of props creates an uncertain world for actors determined to see their d\u00e9but presentation through to fruition despite the disasters that threaten to derail it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2022\\\/09\\\/20\\\/umw-gets-it-right-with-the-play-that-goes-wrong\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px;
