Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of 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.

ONCE UPON A MATTRESS Runs Sept. 27-Oct. 6

TROY_Once Upon a Mattress lohgoONCE UPON A MATTRESS
Troy Civic Theatre
Sept. 27-Oct. 6
Troy City Park

Directed by Derek Dunavent

If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
