Noises Off, weekends November 13-22 at the Richey Suncoast Theatre in downtown New Port Richey | $31 +
From the promo….
The curtain’s about to go up on “Nothing On” — if the cast can just remember which door to use, where they left the sardines, and whether they’re supposed to be on stage at all. Noises Off takes you behind the scenes of a hapless touring theatre company as a bad dress rehearsal spirals into backstage sabotage and total on-stage collapse. Slamming doors, missed cues, flying props, and tangled romances collide in what’s been called the funniest farce ever written — a play within a play that goes completely off the rails.
November 13*, 14, 20 & 21, 2026 at 7:00 PM | November 15 & 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM | *ASL Interpreted Show
