PORT ANGELES — Playgoers have one weekend left to see why “Noises Off” can leave local audiences laughing.

The Port Angeles Community Players’ production of “Noises Off,” playwright Michael Frayn’s farcical look at a theatrical play-within-a-play that proves to be as wobbly as its set, concludes a three-week run with 7:30 shows tonight and Saturday night, and a 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon show.

The frenetic action — directed by Mark Lorentzen — whirls around in the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd.

Tickets are $14 for adults and $7 for students. Some of the situations might not be suitable for younger children.

When the Tony nominations were announced last week, the new Broadway version of “Noises Off” collected five nods.

Leading the way was best revival of a play — one of the major awards, said players board member Jim Guthrie, the director of the group’s Second Stage efforts.

Other Tony nominations were for best featured actress (Megan Hilty and Andrea Martin), best featured actor (David Farr) and best costumes.

The players, Guthrie said, will soon announce the details of their 2016-17 season, both main stage productions and Second Stage events — which will contain some surprises, he added.
