What has eight doors, nine neurotic cast members, and a seemingly endless supply of sardines? Michael Frayn's absolutely hilarious comedy, Noises Off!

The Stissing Theater Guild is proud to open the 2024-2025 season with what the New York Times called, "The most dexterously realized comedy ever about putting on a comedy. A spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce. This dizzy, well-known romp is a festival of delirium." Come witness a troupe of actors attempt to put on a play while battling time, a two-story rotating set, and each other. The laughs truly never stop. You will not want to miss it.

Tickets for the December 6th, 7th, and 8th performances will be available beginning on October 20th at https://stgboxoffice.seatyourself.biz/.
