A sponsorship opportunity that will promote your business or organization within the Island community! The set of Noises Off is an architectural and engineering marvel to behold. Two stories, eight doors, a window – and the entire set has to be taken apart and rotated during the course of the performance…. twice.

This, along with flying props, mistaken identities, intrigue and action all happen in ACT’s production of Noises Off coming in May of 2023 at the Florence Simmons Performance Hall, Holland College, Charlottetown. 

Want to help put together the set or supply other materials for this dazzling production? Any amount of funding, donated materials, or discounted services are gratefully appreciated. We can provide advertising opportunities and put your company in the spotlight! Support and appreciate local theatre and the arts- complimentary tickets are part of our packages too!
