Noises Off

Thursdays 7:30 pm, Friday and Saturday, 8 pm and Sunday Matinee 2 pm
Michael Frayn

Called the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off returned to Broadway a manic menagerie that sent reviewers searching for new accolades as a cast of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing's On. Visit the behind-the-scenes world of this outrageous production filled with misspoken lines, missed cues, slamming doors, offstage shenanigans and onstage slapstick.
 "The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy. A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is festival of delirium." —The New York Times "Bumper car brilliance...If laughter is indeed the best medicine, Noises Off is worth its weight in Cipro." —New York Daily News "The funniest farce ever written! Never before has side-splitting taken on a meaning dangerously close to the non-metaphorically medical." —New York Post "As side-splitting a farce as I have seen. Ever? Ever."—New York Magazine

Father of the Bride
June 18-July 18
Caroline Francke

From the novel by Edward Streeter, illustrated by Gluyas Williams. Mr. Banks learns that one of the young men he has seen occasionally about the house is about to become his son-in-law. Daughter Kay announces the engagement out of nowhere. Mrs. Banks and her sons are happy, but Mr. Banks is in a dither. The groom-to-be, Buckley Dunstan, appears on the scene and Mr. Banks realizes that the engagement is serious. Buckley and Kay don't want a "big" wedding—just a simple affair with a few friends! We soon learn, however, that the "few" friends idea is out. Then trouble really begins. The guest list grows larger each day, a caterer is called in, florists, furniture movers and dressmakers take over, and the Banks household is soon caught in turmoil—not to mention growing debt. When Kay, in a fit of temper, calls off the wedding, everyone's patience snaps. But all is set right, and the wedding (despite more last-minute crises) comes off beautifully. In the end, the father of the bride is a happy, proud man, glad that the wedding is over, but knowing too that it was worth all the money and aggravation to start his daughter off so handsomely on the road to married life.

The Kitchen Witches
August 13-September 5 (date change)
Caroline Smith

Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Stephen Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than the food! Dolly's long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly's dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel top both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!

The Haunting of Hill House
October 1- October 31
F. Andrew Leslie, from the novel by Shirley Jackson

A chilling and mystifying study in mounting terror in which a small group of "psychically receptive" people are brought together in Hill House, a brooding, mid-Victorian mansion known as a place of evil and "contained ill will." Led by the learned Dr. Montague, who is conducting research in supernatural phenomena, the visitors have come to probe the secrets of the old house and to draw forth the mysterious powers that it is alleged to possess—powers which have brought madness and death to those who have lived therein in the past.

The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod the Nut & The Slaughter of 12 Hit Carols in a Pear Tree
November 19-December 19
William Gibson

A Christmas Entertainment Created by one of America's major dramatists, this touching, funny and highly imaginative retelling of the Christmas story brings new relevance to its timeless subject. Dealing with the story of Mary and Joseph and the birth of Jesus from a fresh and richly creative point of view, the author combines a series of deftly constructed short scenes, traditional Christmas music, and often antic characterizations into a wholly original theatre piece.
"Angelic…beguiling wit and humor…as likeable as it is lively…" —Boston Herald-American. "…a joyous celebration, a poignant tale…" —Syracuse Herald-Journal. "…a gift of love and hope to the world." —Syracuse Post
