"Noises Off" - a comedy at The Barn Theatre

The Barn Theatre is proud to kick off its 85th Anniversary Season on September 7 with the opening of "Noises Off", the hilarious comedy by Michael Frayn.

Directed by Tom Blewitt, "Noises Off" runs September 7, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29 at 8pm; and September 8, 9, 16, 23 at 2pm. Tickets are $18 (senior/student tickets are $16 on matinees only). To reserve tickets, call (973) 334-9320, or visit the box office on Saturdays from 4-7 PM.

Follow the on- and off-stage antics of a touring company stumbling through the final rehearsal of 'Nothing On', a typical sex farce, as it runs headlong into its disastrous opening night. Saddled with a demanding leading lady, vain leading man, ditzy ingénue and a drunken has-been, it’s a wonder the director can get anything done, if not for his tireless stage manager. But the real show is going on backstage – where every exit from the stage is an entrance into a comedy of errors, and every slamming door has everyone one step closer to becoming unhinged!

"Noises Off" contains language which may not be suitable for all audiences.

"Noises Off" features: Cheryl Marocco Bookstaver (of Montville), Christopher J. Perez (of Cliffside Park), David Romankow (of Gillette), Doug McLaughlin (of Hillsborough), Erin Comer (of Woodland Park), Jessica Prekel (of Hackensack), Nick Wolf (of Stockholm), Sarah Pollara (of Morristown) and William Horwitz (of Oak Ridge).
