Auditions slated for ‘Noises Off’ comedy

Show director John Jones will hold open auditions for the upcoming Community Playhouse production of the Michael Frayn comedy, “Noises Off,” today at 2 p.m. and Monday at 7 p.m. at the South Jackson Civic Center in Tullahoma. Audition materials will be provided by the director.

This high-energy comedy offers a hilarious look at the theater from both sides of the curtain as it chronicles the on-and-off stage antics of a ragtag theatre group. The fun begins as the touring company tries to get through a last minute dress rehearsal of the farce “Nothing On.”

Parts are available for five men and four women. All parts will require a British accent. Audition participants are requested to bring a wallet size photo and arrive a few minutes prior to the audition time in order to register.

Persons interested in helping with other aspects of the production such as set construction, props, lights, sound, costumes, publicity are also invited to stop by during auditions and sign up. For more information about auditions, call (931) 454-0020 or send an e-mail to suzolive@aol.com. Updates will be posted on the Community Playhouse web site at www.communityplayhouse.org.

Production dates for “Noises Off” are slated for Nov. 12, 13, 14, 19, and 20. Ticket prices are $10 for adults, $9 for senior citizens (65 and older), and $8 for students. Discount rates are available for group tickets of 10 or more if purchased in advance. Season tickets for the Community Playhouse 50th Anniversary Season are still available at $30 for adults, $27 for senior citizens, and $24 for students (four shows for the price of three). Tickets can be picked up most Thursday nights from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Community Playhouse office at the South Jackson Civic Center or at the door before each show of the current production, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” For ticket reservations, call (931) 455-0620 or e-mail information to tickets@communityplayhouse.-org and get $1 off the regular ticket price.
