SUMMARY:Noises Off
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 30 years since First Impressions Theatre first brought “Noises Off” to the stage in 1994! Nicholas Boughen designed and built the set for Deep Cove Shaw Theatre\, which was only two years old at the time. The same design was featured in a second production in 1999\, and the company was excited when Nick agreed to design it again. During the show\, the set becomes a character of its own\, adding to the zaniness of the play. \n“Noises Off\,” considered the funniest farce ever written\, is a play within a play. With a hapless director\, actors stumbling through their parts\, and backstage crew trying to keep it together\, along with a few “showmance” love triangles\, it’s a fast-paced and acrobatic theatrical circus. \nDirected by Claude André Giroux\, the fantastic cast includes Ryan Crocker\, Tiffany Bishop\, Matthew Ip Shaw\, Veronica Bonderud\, Charity Principe\, Jonathon Connelly\, Leigh Richards Stewart\, Elijah Bamberry\, Peter Robbins\, and Rebecca Machttps://britishcolumbia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/discovery-islands-lodge-1-accommodation-quadra-island-british-columbia-1.jpg. This beloved escapade about the making of a play has been hailed as the best example of farce worldwide. \nCatch its brand new third appearance in Deep Cove from February 22 to March 9\, 2024\, at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre. Performances run Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 pm\, with a matinee on Saturday\, February 24 at 2:00 pm. A shuttle bus option from Parkgate Community Centre is available for the matinee—visit the website for details. Don’t miss the First Friday TalkBack with the director and cast. Tickets are available online or by phone. Don’t wait—get your tickets today for this side-splitting comedy!
