A FUNNY THING, INDEED - "Something familiar -
something peculiar." That phrase from the opening number
of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is a promise that is certainly fulfilled by this production by the Evergreen Theatre Conservatory. Director Stephen Locklear has taken the ancient and familiar bawdy Roman comedy... and set it in the Old South in Rome, Georgia. ...the cast and opening night audience seemed to have great fun with the idea. ...carried off brightly and brashly... comic
glory... The cast maintains high energy and a rollicking pace.

THIS 'FORUM' IS OFF THE WALL, Y'ALL - ...love it all
over again... To say that director Stephen D.
Locklear stirred things up to a frenzy in the ETC production is probably the only understatement to come out of the evening. It was nonstop buffo-boffo-socko from the moment the company proclaimed "Comedy Tonight!" until, dripping with perspiration and aglow with accomplishment, the company took its final bow. Wow!

Director Stephen Locklear has devised some
ingenious slapstick business. The actors and director insist on
comic complexity. ... I left the theatre drained. Joe Adcock, Seattle
