Newman Elementary School

<h1>Needham Community Theatre Brings the Chaos Backstage to Your Front Row</h1>
Michael Frayn’s beloved farce Noises Off takes the stage at Carleton Auditorium, May 8–16, 2026
NEEDHAM, MA — If you’ve ever watched a performance and wondered what happens just out of sight — the frantic whispers, the misplaced props, the barely-averted disasters — Needham Community Theatre (NCT) is about to pull back the curtain. And what’s behind it is absolutely, gloriously unhinged.
NCT is proud to announce its upcoming production of Noises Off, the classic backstage farce by acclaimed British playwright Michael Frayn, running May 8–16, 2026 at Carleton Auditorium at Newman School, 1155 Central Ave, Needham, MA 02492.
First performed in London’s West End in 1982, Noises Off has earned its place as one of the funniest plays ever written. The show follows a ragtag touring theatre company as they muddle through rehearsals, performances, and the spectacular implosion of their personal lives — all while sardines, bouquets of flowers, and slamming doors threaten to bring the whole production to its knees. It’s a comedy about putting on a comedy, and it delivers laughs at a pace that will leave audiences breathless.
<h2>Meet the Cast</h2>
NCT is thrilled to welcome a wonderfully talented ensemble to this production:
Oonagh Delaney as Dotty/Mrs. Clackett
Andrew Rhodes as Lloyd
Camryn Hafner as Brooke/Vicki
Madison Canfora as Poppy
Christopher Moore as Frederick/Philip
Anne Krane as Belinda/Flavia
Ilan Barzilay as Tim
Dennis Hurley as Selsdon/Burglar
Justin Maloney as Garry/Roger

The production is directed by John Pease and produced by Michael Bailit, Patrick French, and Dan Henderson.
<h2>Performance Schedule</h2>
Friday, May 8 — 8:00 PM
Saturday, May 9 — 8:00 PM
Sunday, May 10 — 2:00 PM (matinee)
Friday, May 15 — 8:00 PM
Saturday, May 16 — 2:00 PM (matinee) and 8:00 PM

Venue: Carleton Auditorium at Newman School, 1155 Central Ave, Needham, MA 02492
<h2>Tickets</h2>
Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online at ticketstage.com/T/NCT. Don’t wait — this one is sure to sell out!
<h2>About Needham Community Theatre</h2>
