Gods of Comedy

KEN LUDWIG'S THE GODS OF COMEDY

June 12-27, 2026 | Irving Arts Center

A Lovely Comedy by One of the Greatest Playwrights of Our Time

Directed by Kristal Seid

Daphne and Ralph are young classics professors who have just made a discovery that's sure to turn them into academic superstars. But something goes disastrously wrong, and Daphne cries out in a panic, "Save me, gods of ancient Greece!"…and the gods actually appear! The Ivy League will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounter the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption. A riotous comedy where ancient gods bring divine chaos to modern life!
