'NOISES OFF' IS SLU FALL PRODUCTION

CANTON - Noises Off, a comedy by Michael Frayn, will be performed 
in St. Lawrence University's Gulick Theatre Wednesday, October 31, 
through Saturday, November 3, at 8 p.m. each evening. Performances 
are free, but tickets are required; call (315) 229-5748 for ticket 
information.
	The production is directed by N. J. Stanley, visiting assistant 
professor of theatre. Scenic design is by guest designer Molly Eness; 
costume designs are by guest designer Robbie Stanton; and lighting 
design and technical direction is by John Larrance.
	According to Stanley, "Noises Off is a high-flying, 
fast-paced comedy about a second-rate acting company touring a 
trashy British sex farce.  Since this is a play-within-a-play, 
many of the cast members perform two roles:  their roles as American 
actors and their characters in the British play. This is physical 
comedy at its best. The production is filled with every cheap 
theatre gag ever written, and then the playwright adds a few more 
for good measure."
	She adds, "This zany, crazy comedy is a laugh riot and 
sure to be a crowd-pleaser.  Much of the humor in Noises Off does 
rely on some hilarious sexual innuendo and absurd adult situations, 
so it is therefore recommended for mature audiences."
