Noises Off by Michael Frayn is coming to New Stage Theatre next month. Performances will run September 10 – September 22, 2024. A touring troupe’s flop of a play revolves and devolves into comedy chaos in this multi-award-winning play within a play. Doors slam, sardines fly, and trousers drop in Michael Frayn’s side-splitting British farce about a theatre company desperately trying to get their act together. Both onstage and backstage, chaos reigns for a troupe of floundering actors whose forgotten lines, misplaced props, and steamy romantic entanglements make it nearly impossible for the show to go on. An uproarious love letter to the theater, Noises Off is a peek behind the curtain—where everything that can go wrong, does!

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Who were the Van Buren Boys? The Van Buren Boys were a fictional gang from the hit TV show Seinfeld. Named after the eighth U.S. President, Martin Van Buren, this gang had a quirky twist—they flashed a hand sign representing the number eight. Known for their comical antics and exaggerated toughness, the Van Buren Boys became a memorable part of Seinfeld lore. Their leader, Slippery Pete, and other members often found themselves in humorous situations that poked fun at gang stereotypes. Fans of the show still chuckle at their over-the-top bravado and unique hand gesture.
