Jacksonville State University Presents “Noises Off” by Michael Frayn

Jacksonville, AL – Jacksonville State University (JSU) is thrilled to announce an upcoming theatrical event that promises laughter, chaos, and impeccable timing. On the evenings of April 19th and 20th, as well as the afternoons of April 21st and 22nd, JSU’s Stone Center will come alive with the uproarious antics of “Noises Off” by the esteemed English playwright, Michael Frayn.

Originally penned in 1982, “Noises Off” is a timeless farce that has delighted audiences for decades. Michael Frayn, inspired by his experiences behind the scenes of theatrical productions, crafted a masterpiece that captures the mayhem and madness of putting on a show. Frayn’s genius lies in his ability to turn the chaos of backstage into comedic gold, offering audiences a peek behind the curtain at the calamitous world of live theater.

The genesis of “Noises Off” traces back to Frayn’s observations during a performance of “The Two of Us,” a farce he had written for Lynn Redgrave in 1970. From that moment, an idea was born, one that would ultimately manifest into one of the most beloved and enduring comedies in the theatrical canon.

JSU’s production of “Noises Off” promises to be an unforgettable experience, filled with impeccable timing, side-splitting humor, and an ensemble cast that brings Frayn’s characters to life with unparalleled skill and energy. Audiences can expect a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slammed doors, and hilariously botched lines as the cast navigates the pitfalls of mounting a production fraught with behind-the-scenes drama.

The performances will take place at the Stone Center on the JSU campus, offering theater enthusiasts a chance to immerse themselves in the magic of live performance. Showtimes are as follows:

– Friday, April 19th, 2024, at 7:30 pm
– Saturday, April 20th, 2024, at 7:30 pm
– Sunday, April 21st, 2024, at 2:30 pm
