Synopsis

Each act of "Noises Off" lets us watch a farce called Nothing On, as produced by an ill-assorted touring company. In Act One, the dress rehearsal is running very late and is plagued by technical difficulties, missed cues, and lost contact lenses. The action, seen on the stage set facing the audience, hints at multiple intersecting love triangles and other complications behind the scenes.

Act Two literally reveals these offstage developments one month later. The set has rotated so we see the cast backstage during a performance. The director is in trouble with both his girlfriends, the actress making her comeback has two neurotic actors at daggers drawn, and a grand old man of the theater is falling off the wagon.

Act Three turns the set around again, for a final performance where backstage chaos sweeps onstage in a slapstick crescendo of disaster.

Directed by Misty Carson, the show features RHS seniors Darren Caulley, Lauren Isherwood, Catlin McCartney, and Jason Tillman. Dalton Broback, Carly Gilliland, Thomas Moore, Molly Orr, and Evan Yuhas round out the cast.

Under Ruth Barton's technical direction, a production team of students including Stacy Church, Allie DeAngelis, Patrick Mulligan, Geena Pietromonaco, Greg Rocha, and Sophie Thoma provided the stagecraft for this farcical tour de force.
