Congratulations to the Riverside Spelling Bee winners
Tickets to Rifle High School's pandemic-friendly rendition of "Noises Off" are now available!
Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
Show nights are:
Saturday, February 27th
Thursday, March 4th
Friday, March 5th
and Saturday, March 6th.
All shows are at 7 PM.
To reserve a seat via email, message: dvanalstyne@garfieldre2.net
Be sure to include the following information: Name, date of the show, and the number of seats needed. We are selling seats in 2, 3, and 4 person blocks for social distancing purposes and have a limited capacity, so get your tickets now! You won't want to miss your chance to see this hilarious, chaotic farce!
