2005 - 2006 Season of Shows

Noises Off
Comedy

Family Rating - PG
Families with older children
Mild language; risqué costumes

Called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off has sent reviewers searching for new accolades to the hilarious. "The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy, a spectacularly funny and peerless backstage farce.  There are moments when everyone onstage and in the audience seems to be riding the same runaway roller coaster." N.Y. Times. A veritable celebration of truly awful theatre, a backstage explanation of how things got that way, and a magnificent coda of how they just got worse. The bad has never had it so good!" N.Y. Post.

This West End and Broadway hit is the love story of C.S. Lewis, Oxford don and author of The Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters, and American poet Joy Davidman. Jack Lewis is smug in his convictions about God's will and His plan for the world until Joy and her young son enter his life and the theoretician of love in the abstract finally confronts its direct presence in his life and in the world around him. "Engrossing, entertaining, literate, well crafted and discreetly brilliant." N.Y. Post. Winner, 1990 London Evening Standard Award, Best New Play.

The members of an amateur theater group are joined by a professional who changes their lives. Lawrence Wood returns home for the first time in years and winds up directing and starring in an original musical by Homer, a member of the group. Wood changes Homer's script and his life. He also becomes involved with Julia, the spirited young woman Homer loves. As opening night approaches, their personal lives begin to mirror the plot twists of Homer's musical in increasingly comic ways and just as Homer announces that he has rewritten the ending, Wood gets offered a part on Broadway.
