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.

She received her BA in Theatre/Education from Taylor University, Her MA from Miami University, and her Ph.D. in Theatre History, Literature and Criticism from Tufts University.
