LEWISTON – The Lewiston Civic Theatre will continue its 2022-23 season with ‘Noises Off’ directed by Rodney Farrington. Between February 16-26, 2023, the Lewiston Civic Theatre will host a total of 8 performances, all of which will take place at the Normal Hill Campus Auditorium (1114 9th Ave).
Called the “funniest play written in my lifetime” by former New York Times critic Frank Rich, Noises Off is a side-splitting comedy about putting on a comedy. A rollicking backstage farce about a second-rate theatrical troupe, the play combines slapstick, a British comedy, and non-stop hilarity from a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing On. Doors slamming, on- and off-stage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this uproarious and classically comic play.
Note: Rated PG-13 due to language, innuendo/content
