The Gods of Comedy
The Gods of Comedy is a play by American playwright Ken Ludwig. It was first produced as a co-production between McCarter Theatre (Emily Mann (director), Artistic Director; Michael S. Rosenberg, Managing Director) and Old Globe Theatre (Barry Edelstein, Artistic Director). It was directed by Amanda Dehnert, with Scenic Design by Jason Sherwood, Costume Design by Linda Roethke, Wig and Makeup Design by Carissa Thorlakson, Lighting Design by Brian Gale, Sound Design by Darron L West, Illusion Design by Jim Steinmeyer and Choreography by Ellenore Scott. It opened at McCarter Theatre on March 16, 2019 and at Old Globe Theatre on May 16, 2019.

The comedic play features the Greek god Dionysus, Thalia (Muse), and a pair of modern-day classics professors named Ralph and Daphne. Ralph has just discovered the find of the century - a manuscript of the lost tragedy Andromeda (play) by Euripides. But when Daphne accidentally misplaces the manuscript, she calls on the gods to help her retrieve it - and to her surprise, they actually appear. Dionysus and Thalia (Muse) arrive determined to help Daphne, at which point comedic mayhem ensues.
