“‘Funny Thing’ is a very funny thing at GLTF” by Roy Berko
Great Lakes Theatre Festival’s production, under the adept directing of Victoria Bussert, is nothing short of hysterical. Bussert and her wonderful cast pull out all the stops...It’s the kind of production that audience members will totally enjoy.

“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” By Kelly Ferjutz
What fun, indeed! It’s so neat when a play – which was written with joy and wit – then receives a production that finds every smidgen of loopiness in the script and carries that to the very edge of zaniness without ever going completely berserk! Such is the treat in store for audiences with the current presentation of the Great Lakes Theater Festival…every moment is immensely enjoyable. There’s never a dull one anywhere making for absolutely must-see theater! …it all blends together marvelously under the direction of Victoria Bussert…
