A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

This brisk Sierra Stages production features good singing, acrobatic stunts, a steady stream of colorful costumes and a marvelous early Stephen Sondheim score (from the early 1960s). Although technically “community theater,” several aspects of this audience-pleasing show have a professional sheen. Th 7pm; F, Sa 8pm; Su 2pm. Through 8/7. $20-$30.
