Noises Off by Michael Frayn | Directed by Andrew Borba
June 30 - July 16
Michael Frayn’s Noises Off is a roller-coaster, side-splittingly funny look at theater — both onstage and off — as a hapless troupe of actors attempt to mount a dreadful, ill-fated farce of a play. From the disastrous dress rehearsal as the cast fumbles entrances, exits and bothersome props, to the final performance of missed cues and forgotten lines, Noises Off will have you roaring with laughter as the cast’s collective sanity slowly unravels. New York Times critic Frank Rich called it “the funniest play written in my lifetime.”
We recommend this production for the whole family, ages 10 and up.
Join us on the Bratton porch for an informal talkback with Artistic Director Andrew Borba and members of the cast after the following shows:
- Friday, July 7th after the 4pm show
- Friday, July 14th after 4pm show

Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare | Directed by Dawn Monique Williams
August 11 - August 18
In this, Shakespeare’s most famous love story, perhaps the most famous ever written, Love is romantic, overpowering, passionate, violent, and ultimately redemptive. The hot summer days of Verona create a pressure cooker in this timeless tale of young lovers caught between feuding families and swept away by the powerful nature of love.
We recommend this production for the whole family.
Join us on the Bratton porch for an informal talkback with Artistic Director Andrew Borba and members of the cast after the following shows:
- Sunday, August 13th after the 2:15pm show
- Wednesday, August 16th after 2:15pm show
