ENSEMBLE CAST includes Eric Chiang, Sonia Decker, Kelly Friedman, Anne
Kobori, Nico Kiefer, Mark Sorensen, Elena Wagoner, Peter Walton, and
Eli Wirtschafter.  NOISES OFF is directed by BHS senior and Shift
Theatre founder, Molly Bell. 

PLOT:  The NOISES OFF curtain rises at the dress rehearsal of a play
that is far from performance ready. The audience is introduced to the
actors' eccentric personalities that exacerbate the company's frantic,
last-minute preparations.  In Act Two - one month later - we see how
love triangles have formed between members of the cast and crew; and
deception and confusion are added to the already troubled show.   In
Act Three, the show builds to its breathless, unavoidable conclusion.

SET:  The NOISES OFF set is two stories, seven doors, three
stairwells, and one plate glass window -- on wheels.  This is the
largest, most complex stage set ever constructed at BHS by technical
theater students (AKA "Techies").
