University of Evansville’s Theatre presented three shows second semester. They presented ‘Noises Off’’ by Michael Frayn; ‘ The Little Prince’’ by Antoine de Saint Exupery and “The Three Sisters’? by Anton Chekhov. ‘‘Noises Off,’’ a play-within-a-play, is a farce of a twisted around and horribly written play that is hardly ready for production that night. The personal lives of the actors take shape on stage and cause hilarious backstage problems. This English bedroom comedy was well performed with slapstick humor. ‘ The Little Prince,’’ a delightful French fairy tale adapted for stage and directed by Tif Luckenbill, was performed in the studio theatre. This story of the aviator’s and Little Prince’s friendship is an enchanting story about what is really important in life. ‘ The Three Sisters’’ reveals the tragedies that befall three sisters stranded by the death of their father in a suffocating small town. They each dream of returning to civilization — Moscow. Each character was essential, and although some had more spoken lines or appeared on stage more often, each made a dramatic impact in this Russian play. Theatre 29
