Noises Off is a hilarious farce by Michael Frayn that takes you behind the scenes of a chaotic theatre production.
The story unfolds in three acts, each showcasing a performance of a terrible sex comedy called "Nothing On." The first act is a technical rehearsal, a frantic night before opening where the cast and crew struggle with faulty props, missed cues, and forgotten lines. Director Lloyd tries desperately to wrangle his forgetful actors, frustrated stage manager Tim juggles a million tasks, and the simmering tensions between cast members threaten to boil over.
'Love, Loss, and What I Wore' is playing through March 18th- April 2nd at St. Dunstan’s at Cranbrook Playhouse. Written by Nora and Delia Ephron of You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle, this play is like a heart-to-heart with a dear friend over coffee (or wine). Funny. Poignant. Heartfelt. Profound. Perfect for a Girls Night Out. Broadway World Detroit had a chance to talk recently to one of the actresses from the show and the director about their production and why you will not want to miss this show 2 years after it was originally scheduled and what it means to them now.

What is a casting director? Casting directors work closely with members of a production's creative team to help them find ideal candidates for each role. Typically, they will not make the final decision on who is hired, but they often play a vital role in holding auditions, finding talent, and providing an array of options for key members of a show's production team.

Jason Robert Brown has been hailed as one of Broadway's smartest and most sophisticated songwriters. In fact, The Chicago Tribune referred to his work as 'extraordinary, jubilant theater music.'
But Brown, who wrote the book and score for THE LAST FIVE YEARS and the music and lyrics for the stage adaptation of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, as well as the music and lyrics for PARADE for which he won the 1999 Tony Award, isn't one to pontificate.
