2005-2006 Season
Noises Off
Playwright: Michael Frayn
Date: March 30-April 1 & April 6-8 @ 8pm; April 1 & 8 @ 2pm
Faculty Director: Valerie Rae Smith

No holds barred, Noises Off is the funniest comedy of our time. If you think British humor isn’t your cup of tea, we dare you to resist the pandemonium created by a theatre company attempting to stage a sex farce called Nothing On. The backstage intrigues and slapstick shenanigans of these incompetent thespians are guaranteed to tickle even the most stodgy curmudgeon.
