Porch Light Theatre in Glen Rock will present Michael Frayn's outrageous comedy "Noises Off", June 3-19. Performances will be held Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. 'Noises Off' is a side-splitting romp about a cast of mediocre actors rehearsing a show called 'Nothing On'. Door slamming, on-and off-stage intrigue and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play hailed by The New York Times as "a spectacularly funny, peerless backstage farce." Porch Light's production, which runs for 9 performances, stars professional actors from tri-state area including Ryan Pifher of Ridgewood, Olivia Jorgensen also of Ridgewood, Verona's Lucas Turner, Steven Mir from Bloomfield, Mick Gyure of West…

Porch Light Production's frenetic new production of 'Beyond Therapy' is cheaper than analysis and way more entertaining.
An audience walking into Porch Light Production’s latest black box show “Beyond Therapy” would be wise to repress their judgments of this play’s peculiar characters until the curtain falls. Each of the performance's big personalities comes fully loaded with issues that invoke wild unpredictability, and the audience witnesses each character unspooling before the easy-to-miss breakthrough finally occurs in this uproarious play directed by Ryan Pifher.

'Kiss Me Kate' opens April 16 at Bergen Community College.
The cast and crew of Bergen Community College's production of Cole Porter's play Kiss Me Kate have a stark challenge approaching them as they near their April 16 opening night. The play, a touching and comedic musical set during the 1940s, is the largest production by producer Jim Bumgardner and director Bronwen Eastwood in their three years of working with the school. Eastwood, a Ridgewood resident, leads the 23-member cast and a deep crew. For a modern college student, exposure to the works of historically important authors like Porter is a luxury. Directing this year's production gave Eastwood a chance to introduce her students to a moving piece of musical theater from the 20th century. "They quite like it now," Eastwood said. "They …
