Exeter Township Junior High School is pleased to present its fall musical, "Something Rotten! Jr."

Travel back to the Renaissance for an evening of musical comedy as brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom attempt to write a hit play while living in the shadow of the legendary William Shakespeare! When a local soothsayer predicts that the future of theater involves singing, dancing and acting all at once, the brothers set out to create the world's very first musical. Filled with hilarious characters, lively song and dance numbers and plenty of unexpected twists, "Something Rotten! Jr." is a history-twisting comedy that's sure to entertain!

The musical features Zach Werner as Nick Bottom, Colin Lofgren as Nigel Bottom, Brennan Parsons as Shakespeare, Abigail Arters as Nostradamus, Ryleigh Torrence as Portia, Wednesday Merwin as Bea and Sarah Stinson as the Minstrel.

"Something Rotten! Jr." will play on Friday, November 13th and Saturday, November 14th at 7PM at Exeter Township Junior High School, located at 151 East 39th Street, Reading. Tickets are $8 and may be purchased at the door, or you can select and reserve your seat now at SeatYourself.

We hope you'll join us for a fantastic show!
