Pendragon Theatre presents
Noises Off
By Michael Frayn, directed by Sarah Norris
Wednesday, June 24 thru Saturday, July 11
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.
What better way to open our new theatre space than with a zany comedy about the making of theatre?
Tickets are HERE.
Pendragon Theatre, 56 Woodruff Street, Saranac Lake

Guests of all ages will also have the opportunity to participate in hands-on craft activities, including designing custom pride tote bags and bracelets. Organizers say the event is designed to be joyful, welcoming, and accessible to everyone in the community.
Several local artists, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and community organizations will be set up on the lawn with information tables, giveaways, handmade goods, and resources celebrating inclusion and connection throughout the Adirondack region.
