When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And what of love? Because murder isn't the only thing on Monty's mind....
​
A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder is a murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs and a scene-stealing role for one actor playing all eight of the doomed heirs who meet their ends in the most creative and side-splitting ways. This is a must-produce for any theatre looking for a truly original and fresh new comedy that will delight audiences and leave them begging for more.

​Friends of Forge

Join us as a Patron for our 57th Season (2018-2019)

We have made many exciting and long-standing improvements to our facility this past year.  Most notably we replaced our roof and portico, the air-conditioning system, improved the heating, and upgraded the wiring throughout the building.  Without your loyal support, none of that would have been possible.  We still need your help to defray those costs and continue to improve Forge’s infrastructure.
​
This season, we are especially proud of the quality and variety of play selections being offered this year including three musicals: Head Over Heels, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder,  and Guys and Dolls.  To complete this season with two riveting, heart warming productions of Calendar Girls and 33 Variations and a very funny comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner .

We look forward to seeing you, hearing from you, and partnering with you in our live, affordable, family theatre in the Phoenixville area. We are hoping for your generous support as a patron for the upcoming 2019-2020 season.
