Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious, high-energy comedy. Mixing mockery and homage, Frayn heaps a hilarious melée of stock characters and situations into his side-splitting play-within-a-play.

Join the Templeton Middle School Drama class for a delightful evening of dramatic performances rehearsed from the first semester. Featuring a variety of short scenes and monologues, students will share their hard work and skills with the local community. Every student is a star in this family-friendly trip down memory lane!

No script. No two shows alike. Scriptless in Seattle brings a fast-paced night of completely unscripted comedy to the Templeton Performing Arts Center!

With a style reminiscent of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Scriptless in Seattle has toured throughout the United States and Europe, creating an entirely new show every time the performers take the stage.

Using suggestions from the audience, the professional improv troupe creates scenes, characters, improvised music, freestyle rap, film noir-inspired stories, and more, all made up in the room. The audience helps shape what happens next, and some audience members may even find themselves joining the performers on stage to become part of the show.

Because everything is created live, no two performances are ever the same. The performers don't know exactly what will happen, the audience doesn't know what will happen, and that's all part of the fun.

Family-friendly without being just for kids, Scriptless in Seattle is a night of live comedy for teens, adults, families, and anyone who loves to laugh.
