BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Fresh off their win for Outstanding Overall Production of a Musical for NEWSIES at this year’s Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Awards, the award-winning Ridge Drama Club is set to stage Michael Frayn’s iconic backstage farce Noises Off.

Hailed as one of the funniest comedies ever written, the play follows a traveling troupe of mediocre actors who are struggling to put on a show and facing disaster.

Last November, Ridge Drama Club produced The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, scoring three prizes at the Montclair Theatre Night Awards, including the prize for Outstanding Direction of a Play.
