FARCE: Noises Off | Heralded by the New York Post as the funniest farce ever written, Tony Award winner Michael Frayn's Noises Off is a hilarious play about a hapless theatre troupe trying desperately to stage the comedy Nothing's On.

AMERICANA: The Gentle Guest | A rare performance from the local high-energy alt-country Americana folk band. The Gentle Guest is Eric Rykal and friends.
