Noises Off is a large show in just words--with over 120 pages, it's a big thing to take on. Add a 3,000 pound set and a bout of COVID that takes out the majority of the cast, and it becomes even larger! For this production, the Stage Management team was awarded a KCACTF Certificate of Merit in Stage Management for their exemplary work.

​

"A farce necessitates lots of slamming doors and falling down, and this production has plenty of both. As the audience takes their seats, they are left to contemplate a multitude of doorways cramming the set, and soon the fast-paced action becomes a dizzying puzzle as we try to remember who went where and anticipate who or what might pop out from behind Door #1 (or #2, or #5, or #8 … or through the windows!)." ~Lisa Purchase Kelly, Eye on the Arts
