Backstage comedy Don’t Talk to the Actors involves a naive playwright and his fiancée trying to navigate the perilous humans involved in New York’s theater scene.

The title of the play Don’t Talk to the Actors by Tom Duzick evokes the adage “don’t feed the animals,” and for good reason.

The plot centers around greenhorn playwright Jerry Przpezniak and his fiancée as they try to navigate New York City’s hectic theater scene and its perilous humans. Przpezniak’s latest play is slated to feature on Broadway, but plans go awry when the cast and crew resort to manipulation, diva-like behavior and chaotic abandon to get whatever they want.

This backstage comedy incites non-stop laughter as the naïve couple encounter outlandish characters and head-scratching dilemmas all too common in the ego-driven world of professional theater.

$24 adults, $22 seniors and $20 military and first responders, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, Boerne Community Theater, 907 E. Blanco Road, Boerne, (830) 249-9166, boernetheater.org.
