Spend Christmas with ‘Players By The Sea’ for Noises Off!

(Updated: Dec. 10, 2018)

Holidays are joyous, but they can also be stressful if you allow them to be.  Why not spend a night or afternoon, during December, full of laughter with the Players by the Sea’s next production, “Noises Off!”  What a great early Christmas gift - tickets to the theatre.  Don’t miss this opportunity!  You have a choice among ten performances.

The New York Post said, “[Noises Off! Is the] … funniest farce ever written!  Never before has side-splitting taken on a meaning dangerously close to the non-metaphorically medical.”  A fond look at the follies of theatre folk whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss and passionate affairs turn every show into a high-risk adventure, this play-within-a-play gives a window into the inner workings of theatre.  With slapstick comedy, slamming doors, and falling trousers, Noises Off! is a perfect escape from the Holiday craziness!

Director Tom Fallon says, “the point of the show is ‘fun’. Sometimes theatre wants to bend your mind, wants to make you think, wants to make you change perspective — and sometimes it just wants you to have fun.  And this show is all about having fun, especially if you’ve never been backstage at a live theatre experience and have seen what goes on behind the scenes — this particular play shows you what goes on behind the scenes and it’s a rare treat.”

Noises Off! features an incredibly talented team of local volunteers, onstage and off.  The cast includes: Cathy O’Brien, Michael Lipp, Michael Yarick, Katie Johnston, William Collyer, Christopher Watson, Samantha Parsons, Bryan Martins and Anabella Didion.  As previously mentioned, Tom Fallon directs the show, with stage management by Emilee Paris.
