This, That and "Noises Off"

Sorry for the slim number of posts lately, gentle readers - the real world has had me hopping lately, and to be honest - there hasn't been much to share in the way of theatre news.

There are quite a few community theatre shows rehearsing right now, and I'll try to focus on those in the days ahead.

We also have some casts to announce, as soon as I confirm a list or two.

In the meantime, we're just a week away from one of my favorite stage comedies - Noises Off, which is being presented by 5th Avenue Theatre at Huntington's City Hall Auditorium.

More on that soon - in the meantime, here's the official announcement:
Noises Off! by 5th Avenue Theatre Company will begin Friday, Sept. 9 at 8:00 p.m. at Huntington City Hall Auditorium.

The City of Huntington Foundation's 5th Avenue Theatre Company proudly presents the hysterical comedy Sept. 9, 10, 16 and 17 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 11 and 18 at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children. Call 304.696.5522 for tickets! Get them while you can!

Noises Off! by Michael Frayn is a farce about a group of actors performing the play "Nothing's On!", when everything that CAN go wrong DOES.

From the love triangle between the director and two of the female members of the cast/crew to forgotten entrances, lines and complete emotional meltdowns, Noises Off! is one of the funniest plays written in the last 100 years.

You'll see wardrobe malfunctions, how to fight backstage while the play is going on without being able to speak (QUIET BACKSTAGE!) and most importantly, lots and LOTS of SARDINES! *The play contains a small smattering of adult language and the occasional person in his or her underwear - and it's REALLY FUNNY!*

The cast includes: Mary Poindexter Williams, Greg Kiser, Kate Woestman Morris, Michael Naglee, Leann Haines, James Edward Holley, Alison Smith, Roger Hagley and Mike Murdock! Directed by Stephanie Kay Sands! Produced by Maxine Loudermilk!

Bring your friends! Bring your enemies! Bring your enemies' friends! This is a show you don't want to miss!
