B Street's Chaos Comedy Is the Most Fun You'll Have All Summer

Tom Alcazar of the Sacramento News & Review calls B Street's summer comedy the most purely fun production in their recent memory.

There is a specific kind of comedy that requires an audience to laugh at people trying very, very hard and failing spectacularly. B Street Theatre has found a company of performers who have mastered it. The Play That Goes Wrong is 90 minutes of controlled theatrical catastrophe — doors that won't stay shut, props that mutiny, and actors who are technically falling apart while technically pulling it all together.

It is, to put it plainly, a very good time.
