Drama

Tickets to Shorecrest High School's spring musical, Something Rotten!, are on sale now through Brown Paper Tickets.

Something Rotten! drops us into Renaissance London, where two struggling playwrights, Nick and Nigel Bottom, struggle to compete with the mega-star that is William Shakespeare. When Nick pays a soothsayer for inspiration and learns that the future of theater involves something called a "musical," the Bottom Brothers attempt an endeavor they're sure will knock Shakespeare off his perch once and for all. Hijinks, hilarity, and dazzling wordplay ensue, and theatre will never be quite the same! 

A heads-up on content: Like any hearty Renaissance comedy, this one occasionally gets bawdy, with innuendo and some coarse language sprinkled throughout. Though much of it may fly over the heads of younger audience members, we consider this show rated PG-13.
