Celebrate the Faribault Community Theaters 25th Year with the Funniest Play Ever Written!
This is how the reviewer for the New York Times put it when the play ran on Broadway in 2001:
“BREATHLESSNESS, vertigo and that scary-sweet exhilaration of being out of control: there are few highs to equal the experience of floating in the upper altitudes of comedy. In the spectacularly funny ”Noises Off,” Michael Frayn’s peerless backstage farce, there are moments when everyone — onstage and in the audience — seems to be riding the same runaway roller coaster.”
Experience a wonderful night of entertainment in Downtown Faribault this February! Before going to the beautiful Paradise Center for the Arts to see Noises Off! – Take some time to visit local treasures: The Cheese Cave, Augusto’s Ristorante, The Coffee Shop, Depot Bar & Grill, Boston’s Gourmet Pizza, Bernies Grill, Gran Plaza Mexican Grill, – and we haven’t even mentioned the beautiful shops like: Nook & Cranny, Creating A Ruckus!, Flair Furniture, Crafy Maven, That Scrapbooking Place.

Paradise Center for the Arts Presents M*A*S*H Oct. 28-30 & Nov. 3-5
M*A*S*H is set in the Korean War and was written by Robert Hooker and adapted by Tim
Kelly and directed locally by Palmer Huff. The M*A*SH* story has spawned a successful movie and long-running TV series. This hilarious stage play is being presented October 28-30 and November 3-5 at the Paradise Center for the Arts in downtown Faribault (www.paradisecenterforthearts.org).
M*A*S*H stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and joining it are two unpredictable madcaps, Hawkeye and Duke. They can’t be dealt with casually, however, because they are also two of the best chest surgeons in South Korea.
They decide to wage a campaign to get a young Korean to the United States and entered in a good school. The thread of this effort helps tie together the pileup of comic adventures that pyramid right before the eyes of an astonished and hysterical audience! Hawkeye has a scene with a woman psychiatrist who believes he’s been trying to lobster-trap mermaids in a rice paddy!
There’s ajolly encounter with the baby-talking Bonwit sisters,the worst tap-dancing act the U.S.O. ever sent overseas. A sergeant is selling dumb GIs fishing rights in the Bay of Phum. Radar Reilly, a soldier with incredible hearing, anticipates things before they happen. The proprietor of a painless dental clinic is cured of dark moods by the recreation of an old monster movie and a monster! It’s all here, including a little romance mixed in with dramatic moments and a genuine love of life.
