NOISES OFF Runs April 10-12

NOISES OFF
SSCC Theatre
April 10-12
Southern State Community College Edward K. Daniels Auditorium [Hillsboro]

Directed by Rainee Angles

Cast: Jacob Bice, Chelsea Brose, Camden Griffith, Benjamin Gullett, Leslie Holmes, Mark Holmes, Logan Savage, Madison Stanfield & Matt Waits

Called “the funniest farce ever written,” NOISES OFF presents a manic menagerie of traveling actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing On. As opening night looms, backstage chaos rivals the onstage antics, with missed cues, romantic entanglements, and misplaced props spiraling into comic disaster. Doors slamming, on- and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure into the plot of this hilariously chaotic and classically comic play.

ANTIGONE Runs April 9-11

UC College-Conservatory of Music
April 9-11
Cohen Family Studio Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Brant Russell & Samuel Stricklen

As Antigone mourns her brothers who have murdered each other in a civil war, she must decide if she will sacrifice her life to balance the scales of justice. Her victorious brother is posthumously exalted; her treasonous brother is left unburied by order of King Creon, Antigone’s uncle and adversary. Antigone deliberately defies the king’s edict and buries her traitorous brother, igniting a devastating chain of events and thrusting urgent questions of justice to the fore. The performance features Greek choral odes written by CCM Composition Professor Ellen Harrison.

  • Thu-Fri, April 9-10 at 8pm
