The historic Bastrop Opera House will perform “Exit Laughing” during the month of September. Due to social distance guidelines, there will be limited tickets sold to the LIVE THEATRE performances. However, you can also purchase tickets to the LIVE STREAM performance and watch the performance online in the comfort of your own home!

Show synopsis: When the biggest highlight in your life for the past 30 years has been your weekly bridge night out with the “girls,” what do you do when one of your foursome inconveniently dies? If you’re Connie, Leona and Millie, three southern ladies from Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you’ve ever done. You “borrow” the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you’re truly living.

A winner of the AACTNewPlayFest, Exit Laughing broke all records for a nonmusical in Springfield Little Theatre’s 50-year history at its premiere.
