TAMWORTH — The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth is ending its 92nd season with “Lucky Stiff,” a musical farce that could best be described as “Weekend at Bernie’s” meets “Brewster’s Millions.”

“Lucky Stiff,” which opened Thursday, Aug. 25, and will be performed daily (except Wednesday) through Sept. 4, was written by Lynn Ahrens (book and lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty (music) in 1988. The team went on to write “My Favorite Year,” “Seussical,” “Ragtime,” “Anastasia” and “Rocky the Musical.”
