Noises Off

July 8,9,10, 2004
7:00 P.M.

 

Noises Off  is a play within a play about a play. When the curtain goes up in Act One, we see what we believe is the start of a traditional farce called  Nothing On. Then a voice bellows from the back of the house. It is the frustrated director trying to get a second rate acting troupe in a bad play through a disastrous technical rehearsal. After Act 1, the set rotates to show the same play from backstage. The play hasn't gotten any better, but relations between the cast members have deteriorated into absolute bedlam involving love triangles, hidden bottles of whiskey and sardines. The New York Times says, "The only possible response is to laugh uproariously."

Plan to visit an outrageous world behind the scenes as FACT brings you the pandemonium of Noises Off. Tickets are available for $8 in advance at Humphrey Floral and Gift (201 S. Main St. in Fort Atkinson) or at the door for $10.

Set Construction

This play requires a large set piece that will rotate to use the back. We will need a large number of people for set construction. Anyone interested is invited to help with construction and painting. The set of theatrical blueprints has been rented to make it easier for those with construction experience.  FACT has limited tools available, so please bring your own if you have them.  For information or questions about set construction contact Lisa Rammelt by e-mail at lrammelt@excite.com or phone (262) 593-2586.
