“Something Rotten” by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell will be staged at Lakewood Theater at 76 Theater Road in Madison.

Performance times are 8 p.m. Aug. 1-3 and 8-10; 4 p.m. Aug. 4; and 2 and 7 p.m. Aug. 7.

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard” (William Shakespeare). When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brother realize that teaching the top means being true to thine own self….and all that jazz.
