SMCT’s play for Spring 2012 was the Canterbury Tales or Geoffrey Chaucer’s Flying Circus by Burton Bumgarner.
The play was a modernized, hilarious, wacked-out twist on The Canterbury Tales, featuring characters such as Alex of Trebek, King Leno, the Wrong Pilgrims, along with a list of many more zany characters.
