The New Collective
6440 Santa Monica Blvd Los Angeles

Three couples, all going through their own difficult divorces, are stuck together in a room at a courthouse waiting to make an appointment with a mediator. As conversations begin and details of their troubled marriages are revealed, they eventually wind up learning more about themselves and their relationships than they have in all their years of marriage. The results are both hilarious and at times heart breaking.

"...Director Marc Antonio Pritchett does a skillful job of fielding these free-for-all marital battles with an eye to their inherent humor - but also to their potentially poignant underpinnings. A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO DIVORCE is, above all, a hilarious and witty study of marriage with all its stresses and strengths. At the same time, the play is about very real, believable people facing the loss of life plans they made for their happily-ever-after, plans they never expected to end so abruptly."

"..."A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce" is a deeply meaningful commentary on one of the hardest of human manoeuvres, the uncoupling. It is a warmly wrought, pithy and very moving play slyly hidden inside a comic farce. But isn't it when we open ourselves up to the joke of a terrible stressful thing, when we learn the most about ourselves and each other?"

"...Playwright Jeff Gould hits a funny nerve again with his latest, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce. Sky Pilot Theatre Company delivers this confection with an even-handed production, helmed by Marc Antonio Pritchett, with consistently good performances from the cast. The play is double cast, giving maximum opportunity to the membership."

"...The only thing harder than marriage is divorce. And the only thing harder than that is making divorce funny - a feat that Skypilot Theatre's world premiere of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce actually accomplishes. This production of Jeff Gould's new treatise on loving divorces and loveless marriages, under the direction of Marc Antonio Pritchett, attempts to be a rollicking farce and heartfelt exploration of love all in one. Although it's fun and watchable, it lands somewhere in the middle of its two goals."
