About performance
This Pulitzer Prize-winning comedic masterpiece is a time-bending romp that catapults audiences into the lives of George and Maggie Antrobus. Various cataclysmic events serve as a backdrop for a hilarious and thought-provoking exploration of human resilience. After 5,000 years of marriage, the couple and their children have faced ice ages, floods, and wars, but the family perseveres with humor, ingenuity… and a pet dinosaur. This iconic play is a riveting testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity.

“BRACINGLY RELEVANT... might well be the funniest production on LA stages right now.”
-Don Shirley, Angeles Stage
“A MUST-SEE production that may make you think differently about both theatre and humanity—and maybe even about yourself.”
-Anita W. Harris, LA Theatrix
“SMASHING,... wise and funny… I left inspired from witnessing true literature delivered by thespians who refuse to be thwarted by Wilder’s complex, crazy, allegorical genius… sweetly subversive entertainment, an irresistible charmer not afraid to ask hard questions or offer intriguing solutions.”
-Tony Frankel, Stage and Cinema
“WOW!... It’s hard to imagine a finer revival... few could have imagined how relevant its themes would remain today.”
-Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA
“PHENOMENAL... a masterpiece of satire and magical realism… the glue that holds it all together is the utter brilliance of the words and the fortitude and extraordinary talent of the company and crew of A Noise Within.”
-Samantha Simmond-Ronceros, NoHoArtsDistrict.com
“UNRULY, AMBITIOUS AND HILARIOUS… It is a pleasure to see this classic play performed again with such skill.”
-Elaine Mura, Splash Magazines
