Noises Off
2026-03-19 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-20 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-21 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-22 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-26 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-27 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Andria Theatre, 618 Broadway St, Alexandria, MN, United States
Noises Off at the Andria Theatre! Show Synopsys: Michael Frayn'sÂ Noises OffÂ takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This play-within-a-play captures a touring theatre troupeâs production ofÂ Nothing OnÂ in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy,Â Noises OffÂ is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and — of course — flying sardines!

‘Murder in Margaritaland’ Mystery Dinner Experience
2026-03-27 17:30 - 20:00 | Rolling Forks Vineyard, 21505 Selnes Rd, Glenwood, Minnesota, 56334
‘Murder in Margaritaland’ Mystery Dinner Experience
Rolling Forks Vineyards has partnered with Minnewaska Showstoppers for this thrilling, interactive Mystery Dinner Experience:
Somewhere in the tropics between the Port of Confusion and Bay of Disarray, you’ll find that murder meets mayhem and the intrigue begins!
While most vacation at Margaritaland, an exclusive tropical resort, to get away from their troubles, for one unfortunate soul, it will mean the end of their travels altogether.
Has the lottery winner’s luck run out? Will it be the bartender who has served his last drink? Is the honeymoon over for two lovebirds before it nearly began? Or will the stars collide for one Hollywood star?!
At the resort, the guilty will mingle among the guests, and everyone will be left with the task of deciphering between the facts and falsehoods that plague this paradise in order to make a killer pay for their crime.
The night itself will be a clever concoction of chaos, crime, and cocktails in the Carribean.
You’ll be a part of the colorful cast of characters from Coconut Joe, the resorts owner to the flamboyant Star Bright, a vacationing movie star, to Izzie Islander the local island flirt– the guest list is as unlimited as the possibilities of how the night will end.
Like everything else in Margaritaland, there is no certainty to the events of the evening. Whose secrets will be exposed? Which lies will be uncovered? And who will fall victim to the lawlessness of the night? Your bet is as good as mine.
Ticket price ($65) includes mystery experience and catered dinner + dessert. Drinks, tax, and gratuity are in addition to ticket price.
Use the form here to tell us how many males and female roles will be in attendance under your reservation. We will be sending out character assignments prior to the show.
You can also indicate if there are any dietary restrictions or allergies we need to be aware of.
Participation is required and dressing up is encouraged! There will be prizes awarded for best dressed!
See you there!
