Attleboro Resident Appears in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"

Attleboro Falls resident Carlos Gutierrez has a featured role in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” coming this November to Riverside Theatre Works in Hyde Park.

An uproarious musical about love and mistaken identity in Ancient Rome, “Forum” tells the story of Pseudolus, a slave who hatches a plot to win his freedom by matching his young master to a lovely but dim-witted courtesan.

Gutierrez plays a Protean who gets caught up in a feast of slapstick and showgirls – featuring the songs of Stephen Sondheim.

Performances are November 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8 p.m. and November 16 and 23 at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $18-25, and are available at www.rtwboston.org or by calling 1-866-811-4111.
