PinnWorth Productions is set to present A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum in September.

The cast also features Molly Smith of Cream Ridge, Chris Arena and Vianna Fagel of Ewing, Damien Bucci of Fairless Hills, Pa., Taylor Lloyd, Abby Oliver, Jon Polanco and James Zimmerman of Hamilton, Arielle Rabano of Hillsborough, Christian DiTullio of Lawrenceville, Matt South Levittown, Pa., Kristina Lunetta of Lumberton, Jon Heron of Monroe, Jakob Walsh of New Egypt, Susan Fowler of New Hope, Pa., and Peter Sauer of Yardley, Pa.
Allentown resident Lou J. Stalsworth is the show’s director.
The production crew includes set and costume designer Kate Pinner of Allentown, stage manager Matt Lupino of Ewing, and sound and light designer Robert Terrano of East Windsor.
Performances are scheduled for Sept. 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m at Kelsey Theatre, 1200 Old Trenton Road, West Windsor. A reception with the cast and crew follows the opening night performance on Sept. 6.
