Noises Off is a British farce. (Webster’s defines farce as: a light dramatic composition marked by broadly satirical comedy and improbable plot… to improve or expand something as if by stuffing.) Noises Off is also a play within a play. It is about a group of actors in a farce called Nothing On. The first act of Noises Off is a final dress rehearsal of Nothing On during which the actors are feverishly trying to get through their lines, cues, and prop assignments the night before opening, while exhausted, making endless mistakes, and planting the seeds of being at each other’s throats. The second act takes us backstage during a matinee performance of Nothing On after the company has been on the road for a month. (The set rotates to reveal the backstage area). The confusion and exhaustion from the first act has morphed into a display of severed relationships, retaliation, and revenge due to romantic entanglements within the company. Finally, in the third act, we are back to watching the closing performance of Nothing On, during which sabotage among the company members is the operative word.
The cast of characters includes: Kady Dickson-Sayers, Caleb Wagner, Hudson Green, Charli Painter, Hadassah Navarro, Saxon Post, Jasmine Davis, Conner Reyes, and Brayden Gastineau.
Tictets are $5 adults, and $1 for students (tonight only for student night)
