ちょっくら舞台を観に行ってきた。 #extheaterroppongi #noisesoff #藤井流星 #東京千穐楽 #東京千穐楽おめでとうございます 涙出るほど笑った。 1幕ではくすっとするくらいだったけど、他の人が声をあげて笑ってたから、 え？　ここでそこまで笑う？　もしかして、わたしのセンスと合わないやつ？ と一瞬不安になったけど、2幕は声が出て、3幕は涙が出るほど笑った。 てか、2幕が前と後ろでタイミングの違う芝居が進んでて、ヤバいやつ！とおもった。 席もほどほど見やすく。 久しぶりに観た #羽野晶紀 が羽野晶紀で羽野晶紀だなぁ、などと。 たいっへんにおもしろかった。

The star of 'Noises Off' by Michael Frayn is the set! It's a two story construction with 8 doors, a window, a balcony and three staircases. And it rotates! Since it's not put together at the moment, you'll have to make do with this early rehearsal shot of the cast. Noah Nazim, Amanda Rae Donovan, Colin Hood, Marti Hopson, Laura Stapleton, Mike Mallaley, Richard Haines and Amy Sobol (missing Brian Collins because he's behind the camera, Landwash Studios)  Tickets coming soon !

We've been rehearsing this show on and off for three years and can't wait to present it for you... If only the cast would stop injuring themselves! Just kidding - here's an early rehearsal shot of a show with big physical comedy to keep you rolling in the aisles! (photo: Landwash Studios ...

 - ACT will present this outrageous comedy at Florence Simmons Performance Hall in May 2023.The set for ‘Noises Off’, by Michael Frayn, is a major part of the show. This madcap farce follows a theatre troupe trying, but not exactly succeeding, to put on a play. The audience gets to see the action on and off stage, and thus the set has to be quite versatile! The two-story construction includes eight working doors and a window… as well as multiple sets of stairs and a full balcony that will support several actors at once.Garnett Gallant has spent a half a century with the theatre industry in a variety of roles, including touring the world with the National Ballet of Canada. Building has always been a favourite interest, and when ACT (a community theatre) asked for his help in designing and constructing the set for ‘Noises Off’ in 2019, he was glad to oblige. The set was completed in the winter of 2020 – because this production was scheduled to take place right as the pandemic shut everything down. Now, three years later, it will finally be staged at the Florence Simmons Performance Hall at Holland College in May.The set had to be constructed in many small pieces, and then pieced together like a puzzle. The two storey set was built one floor at a time and then was placed in storage for three years! It will have to be fully erected and tested weeks before the show to make sure it works. Therefore this set will have to be moved and built and taken down…. Twice!  It won’t be until very close to opening night that all the pieces will be assembled in one place, and the finishing touches are complete. Gallant is primarily concerned with safety. He says it is important for not just the actors, but for the entire team, to feel secure on this set, which comes apart and rotates during the show. Stay tuned for tickets to go on sale!
