Arc Stages presents Auditions for Noises Off on the Community Stage.

From slamming doors to flying sardines, and missing props to dropping trousers, Noises Off is regarded as “the funniest farce ever written.” This backstage, rollicking comedy follows a British troupe of actors as they rehearse for the opening night of “Nothing’s On.” Can this chaotic company of actors look past love affairs, remember their lines, and perform some semblance of the show they rehearsed, as they take it on the road? Seems unlikely!

We’re thrilled to produce Noises Off as the first Community Stage production of the 2025-2026 season in our new proscenium theatre. We encourage actors of all backgrounds and experience levels to audition.
