DIRECTOR’S NOTES

T his show has a special place in my heart. I was fortunate to be a member of the cast when Pentacle Theatre last performed it in 2001. I had auditioned for the role of Belinda, and was

thrilled—and terrified!—to be cast as Brooke instead. Of all of my theatrical experiences, both at Pentacle and elsewhere, this show is the one that stands out as the one that was the most fun to be a part of. Every single night was a joy to be onstage, and I am so privileged to be able to direct it this time around.

Noises Off was created when playwright Michael Frayn watched a performance of his play, The Two of Us, from backstage. He said, “It was funnier from behind than in front, and I thought that one day I must write a farce from behind.” Since its premiere in 1982, it has become a staple in theaters around the world. Often called the funniest play ever written, this show has it all. Doors, bags, boxes and sardines clash with temperamental directors, actors and stage crew.

The challenges of this show are several. It is difficult to rehearse a show with eight doors and two levels in a rehearsal space with one level and no doors. Act II is mostly pantomime, which requires precise choreography of blocking and timing on the part of the actors. Each of the three acts (which we are performing as two acts) has very similar, but not quite the

same, dialog. You can imagine the difficulty in remembering which of three slightly dif-ferent versions of the same line should be said at which time!

My cast and crew have worked hard, through bad weather and illnesses, to bring this show to life. I could not be more proud of them, and feel blessed to have worked with each and every one of them. I am confident that, just as I did 16 years ago, they will enjoy every night of this production. I hope all of you do as well!

her true home in Salem. She was a vocal performance major in college, and appeared in several musicals and operas with various companies in California, including The Play of Daniel, Peter Pan, Echo and Narcissus, Adriana Lecouvreur, I Pagliacci, and Caval-leria Rusticana. Her Pentacle Theatre expe-rience includes numerous onstage appear-ances, most recently in The Addams Family and in The Book of Liz, Macbeth, Three Tall Women, Noises Off, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Dracula, and The Mystery of Edwin Drood. She has directed several Pentacle pro-ductions including A Midsummer Night’s

Dream, Radium Girls, and Kiss Me, Kate. She has also served as a member of Penta-cle’s Governing Board and on the Playread-ing Committee. Susan is eternally grateful to and for her loving and supportive family.

Isaac Joyce-ShawAssistant Director Isaac is very grateful for the opportunity to work on this, one of his favor-ite comedies, and make his debut as an assistant director at Pentacle.

This is his 16th Pentacle show, where he has served in various roles both onstage and off. Isaac works as a makeup designer, actor, and artist, and has lately spent a good deal of his time being sad about the deaths of celebrities he liked.

PRESIDENT’S CORNER

I am honored to be serving Pentacle Theatre as board presi-dent in 2017. I have been so fortunate to volunteer here for almost 13 years. Pentacle has enriched my life in so many

ways during this time. Serving as this organization’s president is a daunting position, but I know that I will be supported by a fantastic board and our exceptional staff. I hope to continue the hard work of our former board President, Nancy Moen.

In advance I want to acknowledge the people that have given us so much!

1. Our patrons: Your passion for theater and your support for this community inspires me daily. And to our new patrons, welcome! I hope you enjoy our theater in the woods and see the magic often found here.

2. Our donors and sponsors: I am continually amazed by the outpouring of love from our donors and sponsors. Your generosity continues to touch our hearts.

3. Our volunteers: You are the heartbeat of this organization. Without you Pentacle Theatre simply wouldn’t exist. Thank you for all you do!

And many of you reading this fall into two or three of the above categories. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have witnessed many transitions since I started volunteering here and 2017 promises to bring an exciting season and some significant organizational changes. But together, I know that we can all accomplish many great things for the theater in the year to come.

T he first play ever commissioned by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Emma’s Child is a beautiful drama about a woman’s attachment to the child she had hoped to adopt. Jean and Henry Farrell, after years of unsuc-

cessfully attempting to have a baby of their own, decide to adopt. Emma, the birth mother, approves of the couple. Now a new waiting game begins: awaiting the birth of their child.
