Cougarland Comedy: Four Seasoned Comics & A Funny Cub

The Skokie

A long time ago, in Oklahoma City, when I was a sophomore in high school, I joined the Drama Club. By the time I was a senior, I had played Emily in Our Town. In college, I took Shakespeare and Aristotle’s Poetics. I studied the works of Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. I played a daffy, brassy housemaid named Toinette, a lead character in Moliere’s The Imaginary Invalid. My performance astonished my teachers, my classmates, and even my Mother who famously said, “I didn’t know you had it in you."

A Good Guy

Rogue Machine Theatre

Experience the wit and wisdom of George Bernard Shaw with "Misalliance," directed by Guillermo Cienfuegos, at A Noise Within. This satiric comedy of manners, set on a summer day in the early 20th century, unfolds in an English country estate where an undergarment mogul, his family, and a group of eclectic visitors engage in lively debates, resulting in eight marriage proposals and a plane crash. This production promises to be a chaotic clash of class, gender, and generations, offering audiences a humorous yet insightful look at societal norms.

Running from May 12 to June 9, 2024, "Misalliance" follows the success of Cienfuegos's 2023 production of "Much Ado About Nothing," and is anticipated to be an unusually funny and constantly surprising conversation piece. The New York Times praises it as an engaging spectacle that never fails to astonish.

Join us for special performances, including "Pay What You Choose" nights on May 15 and May 23, 2024, where tickets start as low as $5. Don't miss the Opening Night on May 18, 2024, featuring a free post-show cast party. For a more inclusive experience, attend our Sensory Friendly performance on May 23, 2024, designed to accommodate audience members with sensory sensitivities.

Engage further with post-show conversations on select dates, offering a unique opportunity to discuss the play with the cast. These discussions are scheduled after the 8 pm shows on May 24, May 31, June 7, and the 2 pm show on May 26.

Secure your tickets now for this must-see production and be part of a season that celebrates classic theatre's power to challenge perspectives and enrich communities.
