Reviews
Third Rail has pound-for-pound one of the funniest ensembles in town.
Portland Mercury
Michael Frayn’s Noises Off, currently performed by Third Rail Repertory Theatre, is the kind of farce that, if done right, can blow you away with helpless laughter and leave you warmed up inside for quite some time. Third Rail core company members and guest performers do just that, creating magic under the careful direction of Scott Yarbrough, as they take this physically complicated comedy and run with it to the finish line without missing a beat.
