Garfield Re-2 News for our families
March 5, 2021




Welcome class of 2034!!!

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.

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!
