Returning Summer 2026!

The Play That Goes Wrong

June 11 - 28, 2026

Bagley Wright Theater

Returning Summer 2026 due to popular demand!

It’s opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor, and despite the troupe’s best efforts, mishaps are causing mayhem on stage. From wayward props to malfunctioning scenery to unexpected understudies, the show must go on. But will the theater still be standing at the end of the performance?

Fueled by energetic physical comedy, this award-winning London and Broadway sensation will have the whole family rolling in the aisles—brought to life with Seattle Rep’s signature craftsmanship, technical brilliance, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Returning to the Bagley Wright stage in Summer 2026 due to popular demand, The Seattle Times says "run, don't walk, to Seattle Rep" to catch this comedy hit of the season (for the first...or fifth...time)!

For Families

DO NOT MISS ... A constant laugh-fest, uproarious spectacle, and just a beautiful show.

Kids will love watching everything go hilariously wrong at this family-friendly show
