LWE opens comedy NOISES OFF! tonight!

The Tony Award winning comedy opens tonight at Lincoln-way East

Tonight is opening night for the comedy NOISES OFF! at Lincoln-way East.

Lincoln-way East Drama Dept is set to present the hilarious play Noises Off! this Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Michael Frayn's Tony winning comedy Noises Off takes a hilarious look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This play-within-a-play captures a touring theatre troupe’s production of Nothing On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, NOISES OFF is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and -- of course -- flying sardines!
Oct 26 and 28 at 7pm, Oct 29 at 3pm; tickets for sale at LWE one hour before showtime. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Special discount of $5 for seniors on Thursday!
