Noises Off! is a highly theatrical and extraordinarily funny look behind the scenes of a British theatre troupe performing a second-rate sex comedy called Nothing On. Doors slam, identities are c onfused and chaos reigns in this hilarious comedy that follows the mot ley and disorganized theatre company as they rehearse, perform and, we ll, just try to make it through Nothing On as the never-ending theatri cal mishaps snowball out of control. The idea for the show was born in 1970, when Frayn was standing in the wings watching a performance of Chinamen, a farce that he had written for Lynn Redgrave. According to the playwright, \"It was funnier from behind than in front and I thoug ht that one day I must write a farce from behind.\" The prototype, a s hort-lived one-act play entitled Exits, was written and performed in 1 977. Later, Frayn expanded the play into what would become Noises Off! The New York Post dubbed Noises Off! \"the funniest farce ever writte n.”\n\nNoises Off! has had audiences laughing uproariously for 25 ye ars, including two Tony-nominated Broadway runs, and has featured Patt i Lupone, Peter Gallagher, and Faith Prince. In 1992, the play was ada pted for the screen starring Carol Burnett, Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter, Nicolette Sheridan, Denholm Elliott, Julie Hagert y, Mark Linn-Baker and Marilu Henner.\n\nFor more information, please email Bob Russell at brussell@r-r.com.\n\nFor more information visit h ttp://www.hocomojo.com/events/auditions-for-noises-off-by DTSTART:20091208T000000Z DTEND:20091211T020000Z CATEGORIES:theatre, audition LOCATION:Bryant Woods Neighborhood Center WEBSITE:http://silhouettestages.com URL:http://silhouettestages.com CONTACT:410-461-7373 ORGANIZER:Silhouette Stages ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://api.ning.com:80/files/mm6HQwnR-J-ak lYnTEOpJs0PKcAT7veVAtWRpFFHVDk_/SilStagauditionpccopy.jpg ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Frank Vi nce":http://www.hocomojo.com/profile/FrankVince ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Lenne Si rasky":http://www.hocomojo.com/profile/LenneSirasky ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Katherin e Sheldon":http://www.hocomojo.com/profile/KatherineSheldon ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="John She ldon":http://www.hocomojo.com/profile/JohnSheldon ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Wendy Me etze":http://www.hocomojo.com/profile/WendyMeetze ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Shelby Smith":http://www.hocomojo.com/profile/ShelbySmith END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
