Get ready for full-throttle farce when “Noises Off” takes the stage Oct. 17-26 at the Landers Theatre. Springfield Little Theatre’s production collides with slamming doors, forgotten lines and wild misunderstandings in a “play within a play” that shows how theatrical magic can erupt into mayhem.
The story follows a troupe’s disastrous attempt to put on a play, from final dress rehearsal through opening-night chaos to the last show. Beth Domann, executive director, notes the production has only nine cast members, who auditioned specifically for this comedy.
“We’re a community theater,” Domann said. “Everybody is welcome to come and audition for any show.”
Director and a cast member talked with us about balancing precision timing with comedy that thrives on everything falling apart. This one is built for belly laughs.
