Noises Off

The Empress Theater is excited to announce auditions for

NOISES OFF

Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

Auditions:

August 8th 7pm-9pm

Callbacks by invitation only August 10th

The production runs November 10-18, 2017.

Auditions open to those 16 & older. Sides will be provided from the script for the auditions.

Please provide a list of conflicts from August 14th through November 18th.
