Along with director Mr. Matt Wehr, a small cast of nine Southern Lehigh students are currently putting in long hours of work to put together this year’s fall play, “Noises Off.”
Chosen by Mr. Wehr, “Noises Off” is a comedy, rumored to be one of the most hilarious shows Southern Lehigh has ever performed.
“The cast has a very funny, audience-friendly play in front of them, but it is extremely difficult,” Mr. Wehr said. “It’s very challenging because it’s all about timing, but to get the timing perfect, you have to have hours of rehearsal.”
“Noises Off” is about a show inside a show, and incorporates lots of humor to get the entire audience laughing out of their seats.
“Honestly, I think this is the first year in a while that the student body will really like the show. This show appeals to everyone especially high school teenagers. It is a farce,” senior cast member Alex Knapp said. “There’s a lot of suggestive material, tension between characters, gossip, and love triangles. It’s incredibly funny because of the use of physical comedy. It’s one of the hardest shows I’ve ever done,”
Although the play presents a challenge, this tightly-bonded group of Southern Lehigh students are confident that they will pull it off.
“Noises Off” will be performed in the high school auditorium from November 14-16. Tickets are on sale now.
