Eight doors and one window slamming, flying sardines, misplaced telephones, sabotage, back-stabbing and general mayhem galore all come together in only one thing: the now-classic stage comedy - “Noises Off.”  A play-within-a-play “Noises Off” will open Thursday, April 19, bringing four performances of comedy to Sterling College. Audiences will see the inner workings of a theater production in this backstage farce by Michael Frayn, as a traveling company debuts a British farce. “Noises Off” will begin at 7:30 p.m. April 19-21 and at 2 p.m.
