LIFE: A Comic Opera in Three Short Acts is neither quite an opera nor a musical; it is not a really a comedy or a drama. It’s a bit of everything, using classical music, Broadway, doo-wop, and more to tell its story. Neal Learner’s musical, previously presented as a reading with Monumental Theatre Company, returns as a full production mounted by Del Ray Players. There are no great heroes, no star-crossed lovers, or maniacal villains in this show – rather, it explores the laughter, the love, and the sorrow of ordinary life, as told by one family.
