AUDIENCE RAVES for the all new “Magnum Opus”:
“BEST OF FRINGE!!! This script is so awful, it’s brilliant! I am so glad I finally got to meet the MAGNUM OPUS Players, I am a fan!!”
“Non-stop hilarity from an incredibly deft group of performers. Great concept with pitch-perfect delivery. Highly recommended!!! You won’t believe it!”
”Hilarious! I’ve seen a few editions of Magnum Opus, and they’ve all been fun. The Yearbook is something very special.”
“This is one of the best they’ve ever done.”
MAGNUM OPUS THEATRE presents scrupulously faithful renditions of these terrible screenplays performed live on stage… Word for word… We didn’t change a thing… Honest!
