“Noises Off” is a hit at the Waterfront Playhouse! Sold-out houses have audiences howling with laughter. The Key West Citizen raved “‘Noises Off’ is hilarious…[you will] laugh until it hurts…it cannot be missed this holiday season.”

Michael Frayn’s uproarious play-within-a-play follows the on- and off-stage antics of the members of a mediocre touring company as they blunder from an ominously bad dress rehearsal to spectacularly disastrous performances. “Noises Off” is a hysterical romp packed full of a side-splitting collection of forgotten cues, actor hissy fits, missed connections and backstage hilarity!

Social media has lit up with glowing comments about the Waterfront’s production: “We had a wonderful evening full of laughs!” “Beautifully organized chaos that never quits delivering.” “Absolutely hilarious…I loved it!” “What an amazing cast!” “Farce at its absolute best.” “My only complaint is that my tummy hurt from laughing so much.”

“Noises Off” manages to serve as both a send-up of the modern farce and a valentine to the form, mocking its triviality while simultaneously delivering an extremely well-crafted example of the genre. It has been a hit on Broadway and the West End – twice. It’s also been translated into dozens of languages and revived throughout the world, making it one of the most produced plays in the repertory.

The production runs through January 10^th, Tuesdays to Saturdays with all performances at 8 PM. Key TV is the sponsor of “Noises Off.”

Directing the high-energy production is the Waterfront’s Managing Artistic Director, Danny Weathers. He has assembled a formidable cast that includes David Black, Brandon Beach, Carolyn Cooper, Matt Hollis Hulsey, Tony Konrath, Erin McKenna, J. B. McLendon, Joan O’Dowd and Susannah Wells. Each of them deliver a tour-de-force performance.

The impressive two-level set has been designed by the Waterfront’s resident set designer, Michael Boyer. Watching the set rotate 180 degrees during intermission is part of the evening’s brilliance. David Bird has designed the lights and Carmen Rodriguez designed the costumes and props. Trish Manley acts as stage manager and sardine patrol.
