Pioneer Theatre Company presents Noises Off by Michael Frayn, running December 5–20, 2025, at Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre.Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off takes audiences behind the scenes (and then back onstage) with a troupe of eccentric actors attempting to stage a farce of their own—complete with slamming doors, missing sardines, and comedic catastrophe at every turn.
There’s no business like show business? Often hailed as one of the greatest farces ever written, Noises Off sees onstage antics collide with backstage hijinx—in a zany tribute to “theatre-people” everywhere. And as hard as it may be to believe, Noises Off has not been seen at PTC for nearly 20 years! Join us this holiday season for a healthy dose of slamming doors, backstage drama, and a rogue plate of sardines. This brilliantly-crafted comedy delivers non-stop laughter and classic theatrical mayhem!
