Noises Off by Michael Frayn
In a provincial English town, a theatre troupe rehearses a touring production of a sex comedy, Nothing On. Unfortunately, almost nothing is going right - the cast can't remember their lines, they mix up their blocking, misplace props, and they've lost sight of why they're acting!
The show consists of 4 women and 5 men ages 20-70. Several characters play themselves and then the actor during the play they are performing.
Dotty Otley /
Mrs. Clackett
40+ (Off Stage Character: Dotty) A middle-aged actress who is also one of the play's principal investors. Means well and tries her best. A bit forgetful. (On Stage Character: Mrs. Clackett) A cockney housekeeper for the Brent's home in England. Hospitable, though she is a slow-witted and slow-moving chatterbox
Brooke Ashton /
Vicki
20+ (Off Stage Character: Brooke An inexperienced actress who seems as though she isn't fully "here" sometimes - somewhere else inside her head. She will execute her blocking and lines the way she was told. One third of a Lloyd-Poppy-Brooke love triangle. (On Stage Character: Vicki) An English woman who works for Inland Revenue and is trying to woo Roger.
Belinda Blair /
Flavia Brent
30+ (Off Stage Character: Belinda) Cheerful and sensible. One of the only reliable actors in the company. She may have feelings for Freddy. (On Stage Character: Flavia Brent) Philip Brent's English wife. She is dependable, though not one for household duties.
Poppy Norton-Taylor

Lloyd Dallas

Garry Lejeune /
Roger
25+ (Off Stage Character: Garry) The play's leading man, a solid actor who is completely incapable of finishing a sentence unless it is dialogue. Means well but is a little pretentious.

Frederick Fellows /
Phillip Brent /
Sheikh

20+ The over-worked and easily flustered Stage Manager who wears too many hats in this production.
