SSCC Theatre presents Michael Frayn’s Noises Off, playing April 10-12 in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m.; the Sunday matinee begins at 3:30 p.m.
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.
