NOISES OFF
Presented by Playhouse South
Sept. 26-Oct. 5
Kettering

Directed by Jenni Cypher

Cast: Nancy Albert as Dotty, Rob Breving as Lloyd, Nathan Hudson as Garry, Janelle Chamness as Brook Ashton, Steve Voris as Frederick, Jessica Jones as Belinda, Sara Bortz as Poppy, Keith Bortz as Tim & Scott Hulsman as Selsdon

Come enjoy a good hearty laugh with the funniest farce ever written. NOISES OFF is a roller coaster, side-splitting look at theatre – inside and out – as a hapless troupe of actors attempt to mount the dreadful comedy “Nothing On.” Door slamming, missed cues, and romantic intrigue will have you roaring with laughter as the casts’ collective sanity slowly unravels. Yet, the show must go on; despite the catastrophe being played out on stage and the vicious antics among the actors backstage. All-the-while, an ill-fated tray of sardines mysteriously appears and disappears.

HONK! is the story of Ugly, whose odd, gawky looks instantly incite prejudice from his family and neighbors. Separated from the farm and pursued by a hungry Cat, Ugly must find his way home. Along his rollicking and harrowing journey he not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, HONK! will treat you to equal amounts of laughter and tears.
