Pine Tree Playhouse to give encore performance

Cast of Noises Off | Bill Marion

WINNSBORO – By popular audience demand, the Pine Tree Playhouse will present an encore performance of ‘Noises Off’ on Saturday, May 4 at 8 p.m. The performance is one night only.

‘Noises Off’ is a play within a play about an ambitious director and his troupe of mediocre actors. The silly, sexy comedy is a single-set farce in which lovers frolic, doors slam, clothes are tossed away and embarrassing hi-jinks ensue.

The play is a slightly bawdy British farce which may not be suitable for children under 13.

The cast includes Matthew Swanson, Fran Jolly Shepard, K.E. Carter, Sydney Fowler, Shane Moody, Lisa Cathcart, Nancy Jolly Smith, Brian Garner and Maddie Garner from Winnsboro, Great Falls, Blythewood, Chester, Columbia and Aiken. The set was designed and built by Frank McKinney, Bill Wedding, Matthew Swanson and Gary Baker. The set crew includes McKinney, Wedding, and Baker.

During the play’s two 10-minute intermissions guests will be offered (for a small donation) refreshments of wine, water and snacks in the lobby.

‘NOISES OFF’ was written by Michael Frayn and is produced with the exclusive permission of Samuel French www.samuelfrench.com. It is directed by Shane Moody and Becky Koeller.
