Theater Reunion
Calling all C-SC Theatre Alumni! If you are planning on attending Homecoming this year, we would LOVE to have you involved in our production of NOISES OFF!

Be sure to email Haidee Heaton at hheaton@culver.edu for more details on how you can participate in our production and be recognized!
Culver-Stockton College’s Department of Theatre kicks off their mainstage season with the outrageously funny Noises Off by Michael Frayn. Declared “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a group of eccentric actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing On. Slamming doors, on and off stage relationship dramas, and an “errant herring” all add to the plot of this classic comedy. Noises Off garnered an Olivier Award for Best Play as well as multiple Tony nominations. 

Performances of Noises Off will be Saturday, September 25th at 7:30pm in Alexander Campbell Auditorium. We will have a Theater Reunion Reception following the performance outside of the Alexander Campbell Auditorium. There will also be a 3pm Sunday matinee on Sunday, September 26th. For further information or reservations, please contact the fine arts office at 573-288-6346 or finearts@culver.edu.
