“Something for Everyone!”

Comedy

A wily slave must unite a virgin courtesan and his young smitten master to earn his freedom.

VIBE

A whirlwind of mistaken identities and farcical schemes. Expect a riotous, song-filled romp through ancient Rome, driven by witty wordplay and physical comedy. It's pure, unadulterated, and delightfully silly fun.
