Director’s Notes

Mounting Noises Off is never an easy task, and our offering is no exception, as not one production element is left unchallenged, from the designers and the actors to the sardine lubricator.  What made this whole process so satisfying for me was how this dedicated group of theatre folk happily attacked those challenges, rarely taking the path of least resistance; complication plays nicely on the stage.

At times the rehearsal process was more farcical than the farce itself.  Imagine four weeks of trying to navigate nine actors in and out of seven doors on two levels with only pieces of masking tape on the basement floor of Winton Hall as a guide.  The set and all its trappings soon became the tenth character, and it’s up there working its backside off, sharing the limelight like a seasoned veteran.

It’s been said that the “Theatre” is supposed to enlighten, edify & educate.  Swell.  Someone much wiser and less pretentious said laughter is the best medicine.  There are enough cruel, despicable acts of violence happening all over the world that perhaps society can get a clue and be edified and educated by the magnitude of those, maybe, hopefully, someday.  Our only lessons to you tonight are make sure to visit the loo before the show, turn off your cell phones, and have a good laugh on us.  Our treat.  Thank you for coming.
