­showlogonoisesoff Noises Off
April 1 - May 1, 2010

The funniest play ever written. Period. Grown men weep with laughter. Ladies have to be carried out of the theatre. Diabolically constructed, relentlessly clever, and mercilessly hilarious, ­Noises Off is the ultimate backstage farce. Depicting the onstage and backstage antics of a fifth-rate acting troup, it's a sidesplitting symphony of "Seven slamming doors, one breaking window, 10 trips up and down stairs, 17 false entrances, 46 miscues, 22 double entendres, six regular entendres and a million laughs!".

amp A Marvelous Party:
The Noël Coward Celebration­
­
May 20 - June 26, 2010

"I'm an enormously talented man, and it's no use pretending I'm not!" Thus spake Noël Coward. This Bay Area premiere is an exhilarating evening of song and sparkling repartee, filled with Coward's witty lyrics and contagious melodies. Created by and starring the multi-talented team from the REP hit 2 Pianos 4 Hands, this is a singing, dancing, piano-playing evening of show-stoppers that provides "endless delights!" raved the LA Times. Filled with classic Coward confections like Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Why Do the Wrong People Travel and Mad About the Boy, this is one marvelous party you don't want to miss. "A blissful and flawless revue!" gushed the Seattle Times.
