The 54th season of shows at Pull-Tight Players will “day-boo” with a show demonstrating the power of Murphy’s law at work. Everything that can go wrong will hilariously do so when The Play that Goes Wrong opens July 29 at the Pull-Tight Theater in Franklin, Tenn.

Chris (director/Inspector Carter) – Caitlin Kent

Dennis (Perkins) – Nathan Brown
Sandra (Florence Colleymoore) – Abigail Haggard
Max (Cecil Haversham/the Gardener) – JT Landry
Annie (Stage Manager) – Breanna Theobald
Trevor (Sound/Lights) – Joey Echeverria

Pull-Tight is pleased to welcome back a few veterans of our stage as well as a host of newcomers as we mount this popular comedy

At the 2022 May Artist Members’ Meeting, Pull-Tight Players selected four nominees to join its Board of Directors on July 1.

Those incoming include two first-time members and two who have previously served board terms.

Savannah Aiello will begin her first board term as Secretary. She has worked as stage manager and assistant director, helped with set construction and technical execution, and manages Pull-Tight’s social media accounts.

Cindy Davis Massey is a second-generation Pull-Tight Player. She most recently directed Crimes of the Heart, our return to live theatre following a long pandemic closure.

Bre Hall, serving a special one-year board term, brings recent theatre board experience to Pull-Tight. Her first appearance on our stage was in 2019’s Big Fish.

Johnny Peppers returns to the Board of Directors while continuing his role managing our virtual box office. Johnny directed 2018’s Boeing Boeing.

Other new board officers beginning their roles July 1 include Lynda Gibbs (president), Leslie Berra (vice president), Iain Macpherson (treasurer), and Wade Woodruff (parliamentarian).

Auditions for ‘The Play that Goes Wrong’

April 13, 2022

The Play That Goes Wrong 800x400

Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15
6:30 p.m.
Pull-Tight Theater

Directed by Sarah Kieffner
Produced by JK Gregg

Performance dates: July 29 and 30, August 4-6, August 11-13 at 7:30 p.m.; July 31 and August 7 at 2:30 p.m.

The Play That Goes Wrong has been delighting audiences since its 2012 London debut. The farcical play-within-a-play follows the Cornley Drama Society’s production of “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” Despite their best efforts, the production rapidly goes from bad to utterly disastrous, with madcap mishaps—from an unconscious leading lady to a self-destructing set.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Resumes and head shots welcome, but not required.

You may download the audition form below and complete it prior to auditions. Copies will also be available at the theater.

For questions or more information, email Sarah Kieffner.
