A family was on the way to the hospital where their teenager was scheduled to undergo a tonsil- lectomy. During the ride they dis- cussed how the procedure would be performed. "Dad," the teenager asked, "how are they going to keep my mouth open during the surgery?" Without missing a beat his father replied, "They're going to give you a phone."

In her play Taste, local writer Jody Gehrman transports Eliza Doolittle to Sonoma County and gives her the job of trying to save a struggling winery, which may or may not be easier than trying to lose a Cockney accent. It’s part Cinderella story, part comedy, and perhaps lightly flavored with oak. A high-jack leads to high jinx in Woody Allen’s comedy Don’t Drink the Water. Walter, a caterer from New Jersey, is “doing Europe” with his family when their plane is shanghaied to Vulgaria and he’s mistaken for a spy. Holed up in the American Embassy, Walter and his wife plot their escape while their teenaged daughter romances the ambassa- dor’s son. Noises Off by Michael Frayn is considered one of the funniest farces ever written. It’s also a challenge to stage, involv- ing eight doors and one window through which the actors – play- ing actors trying to rehearse a dud called Nothing On – continu- ally enter and exit. Frayn got the idea while watching, from the wings, a performance of another farce he’d written, commenting: “It was funnier from behind than in front.” Noises Off provides that chaotic backstage perspec- tive.
