The British play Noises Off is bound to have you in stitches. Written by Michael Frayn, Noises Off can be considered a farce within a comedy and gives an inside look at all the antics of the theatre: the ups, downs, backstabbing, and relationships that form while a play is being produced and performed.

Noises Off follow a group of actors preparing for a cringe-worthy production called “Nothing-On.” What follows is on-stage misdirection, misunderstandings, doors that will not work, and props that aren’t there. Theatregoers are promised a glimpse of what happens backstage as the stage will literally turn. The actor’s best and worst sides are displayed, revealing their mysteries of trying to keep track of their newspapers, plants, lovers, missing cast members and a few plates of Sardines.

Noises Off will be featuring third-year students of the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of the University of the Free State. Directed by Thys Heydenrych. It will be performed from 26 to 29 September 2018 at the Wynand Mouton Theatre, UFS campus, at 19:30. Tickets are available at Computicket.

This production is appreciated by an audience of age 15 and over because of a more … grown-up storyline.

The production is made possible with the support from Creative Kilowatt and Iewers Nice.

Staff and students of the OSM will present a special concert in honour of Kobie Kloppers.

Jacobus (Kobie) Kloppers (born in 1937 in Krugersdorp) has taught musicology and organ in South Africa and Canada and given organ recitals, including broadcast work for the SABC and CBC.  He has served as a church organist, examiner, composer and organ advisor. He served on the Organ Advisory Committee of the Winspear Centre (1994 - 2002), Edmonton and oversaw the final voicing of the new Davis Concert Hall Organ in the Centre.  He is a member of the Canadian League of Composers, voting member of the Canadian Music Centre, The Edmonton Composers Concert Society and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Canadian College of Organists. His musical compositions have been performed and broadcast in Europe, the Americas, Hong Kong, and South Africa.

Kobie Kloppers served professor in organ and musicology as well as chairperson of the music department at the King’s University College in Edmonton (Alberta; Canada) from 1979 - 2008.  After his retirement in 2008, he continued as full-time lecturer in organ and musicology at King’s and adjunct professor in keyboard at the University of Alberta until 2013. After completing his undergraduate studies and organ licentiate in South Africa, he continued his studies in Frankfurt am Main: organ with Helmut Walcha at the Musikhochschule (1961 - 1965), and musicology at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University (1961 - 1966). 

His compositions (around 70) include works sponsored by the Canada Council, CBC, the Royal Canadian College of Organists, the Marjorie Young Bell Fine Arts and Music Fund at Mount Allison University (Sackville, New Brunswick), the South African Foundation for the Creative Arts and various private sponsors.
