Two-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded, commissioned by the Met and based on librettist George Brant’s acclaimed play, wrestles with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of 21st-century warfare. Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo, one of opera’s most compelling young stars, portrays Jess, a hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. As she struggles to adjust to this new way of doing battle, she fights to maintain her sanity, and her soul, as she is called to rain down death by remote control. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin oversees the Met premiere of Tesori’s kaleidoscopic score and a cast that also features tenor Ben Bliss as the Wyoming rancher who becomes Jess’s husband. Michael Mayer’s high-tech staging, using a vast array of LED screens, presents a variety of perspectives on the action, including the drone’s predatory view from high above.

**Title:** The Play That Goes Wrong

**Dates:** August 31st to November 9th

**Location:** Gilliam Stage, Barter Theatre

**Overview:**
Prepare for a night of uproarious laughter with "The Play That Goes Wrong," a play-within-a-play presented by the Cornley Drama Society. This ill-fated production of "The Murder at Haversham Manor" is anything but smooth sailing. From the moment the curtain rises, the cast faces a series of disastrous mishaps. The leading lady is knocked unconscious, the corpse can't seem to stay "dead," and the actors find themselves tripping over more than just their lines. Despite the chaos, the accident-prone thespians valiantly struggle to reach their final bow, delivering a performance filled with hilarity and unexpected twists.

**Content Advisories:** The play contains very mild language, comedic scenes of characters being knocked unconscious, mild sexual references, and gunshots. It's a blend of farce and slapstick that promises an evening of light-hearted entertainment.

**Why Watch?**
Dubbed as the funniest play Broadway has ever seen, "The Play That Goes Wrong" offers a unique blend of comedy, mystery, and theatrical disaster that keeps the audience laughing from start to finish. It's a testament to the resilience of theatre and the joy that can be found in imperfection.

**Tickets:** Available for purchase. Please contact the Barter Theatre Box Office at 276.628.3991 or visit barterinfobartertheatre.com for more information.

**Special Acknowledgments:** This production is partially funded by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Virginia General Assembly, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Town of Abingdon, Washington County, and the Virginia Tourism Corporation.
