If you were to hear someone suggest that you should see a play that, by the characters’ own words, is about “doors and sardines”, would you be interested in watching it? 

The answer to that question should be yes.  

“Noises Off,” put on by the theater program, is a hilarious ride from start to finish. The story follows a play-within-a-play where, in essence, everything goes wrong.  

The play will be performed Wednesday through Saturday in the auditorium, at 7 p.m. 

The cost of admission is $15 for general admission and $5 for students.  

The characters are endearingly ridiculous and the whole show is inherently over the top. The program handed out to the audience even includes a definition of the word ‘farce’, as well as explaining to the audience that they shouldn’t expect any profound or deep message to the story.  

Rather than expecting any groundbreaking or thought-provoking moral dilemmas, the audience can just sit back, relax and enjoy the hilarity.  

The over-the-top and absurd comedy of the show can appeal to all ages.  

Especially in the second act, the performance captures complete and utter chaos and hilarity, with hardly a single word of dialogue. It is a testament to the talent of the actors that they can display so much emotion and action while barely speaking.  

It is also worth noting that this play was originally intended for fall. However, due to Hurricane Irma and the auditorium flooding, it has been delayed until now. The entire cast and crew deserves respect for enduring all the problems that have plagued this production.  

This show, with its intentionally ridiculous plot and characters, is perfectly brought to life by the theater department and everyone should try and see it while it’s available.
