May 29th - June 8th, 2025

Lou & Nancy Schauer Mainstage Theatre

Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

This show is generously sponsored by Boiler Equipment Company.
