November 2010 Noises Off

By Michael Frayn

Director:  Cathy Christoff
November 25-27, December 2-4, 2010

Noises Off is a play within a play.  The cast and crew are putting together a silly comedy titled Nothing On -- a single-set farce in which lovers frolic, doors slam, clothes are tossed away, and embarrassing hi-jinks ensue.  The three acts of Noises Off expose different phases of the disastrous show Nothing On with Act I being on stage during a dress rehearsal, Act II taking place backstage during a matinee performance and finally, Act III performed onstage during a delightfully ruined performance.  For anyone who has been backstage during a show -- especially when something goes wrong -- this play is bound to conjure a flood of hilarious memories.  by the play's end, their show is a comical catastrophe and the audience will be rolling in the aisles.

January 2011:  Kiss Me Kate

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter

Director:  Carey Nicholson
Music Directors:  Ann Gage & Steffan Brunette
January 13-15, 20-22, 2011

Take one of Shakespeare's funniest comedies, add a Broadway musical, top with feuding actors, wayward lovebirds, and a couple of gangster thugs and you have the ingredients for Kiss Me Kate, an energetic show full of song, dance, laughs, romance, and the melodious and sophisticated music of Cole Porter.

In true Shakespearean form, Kiss Me Kate is a play within a play telling the story of a touring company's musical version of Taming of the Shrew.   And true to form, there are plot twists and fun aplenty as the performer's personal lives, full of love triangles and outstanding gambling debts, threaten to close the production almost before it can open!  Musical numbers include Why Can't you Behave, Wunderbar, Too Darn Hot, Brush Up Your Shakespeare, I Hate Men, and Another Op'nin, Another show.  Kiss Me Kate won the Tony award for Best Musical in 1949 and returned to Broadway in 1999 winning Tony awards for Best Actor, Costumes and Orchestration. 

April 2011: Charley's Aunt

By Brandon Thomas

Director: Cheryl Atwood
April 7-9, 14-16, 2011

Charley's Aunt is late Victorian farce at its best.  First performed in 1892, Brandon Thomas' comedy about two Oxford scholars trying to woo their young ladies under the watchful eye of "Charley's Aunt", one of their undergraduate chums dressed for the part, is a classic of comic confusion of chaos.  A farce to freshen your spring!
