NOISES OFF DEBUTS AT COTTAGE THEATRE
seeing the trouble that actors have in rehearsals
and funny stuff and then they get on each other’s
nerves later on in the play and the actors relation-
ships start deteriorating backstage and on stage
and so more crazy stuff happens because of all
that.”
While the actors are a key part of everything,
the real key to the whole production is the set. The
set is based around a pair of staircases and more
importantly seven different doors that are con-
stantly being opened and closed.
“The set and the timing, those are the two things
that this play is all about. Getting everything go-
ing so that it fl ows,” said Rust.
In the fi rst and third set the audience is seeing
what is happening in the play but in the second
set the viewer is transported backstage where they
see the cast arguing about in a silent fashion while
the play is taking place. For this piece, the set is
changed between acts. In other stages, the house
revolves around to show that the audience is now
on the other side but at the Cottage Grove Theatre
the stage crew quickly changes doors and move
things around between acts.
“One of the hardest parts about this show really
is the set. Figuring out how you’re going to do
this set in your space,” said Rust.
Once the set was fi gured out, the cast then had
to get used to going in the correct door and mak-
ing sure they moved at the right time all while
playing multiple characters.
“We’re in tune with each other and we trust
each other and it’s such a show about trust. The
amount of falling and slapping and sardines fall-
ing, it’s a madhouse,” said Sophie Blades who
plays the characters of Flavia and Belinda.
Noises Off runs from Thursday-Sunday until
February 18.

W
ith doors opening and closing at a mo-
ment’s notice, sardines fl ying through
the air and a nearly silent act that was still chalk-
full of storylines, Cottage Grove Theatre began
their production of the comedy "Noises Off!"
which opened last Friday.
The play that is directed by Tony Rust is from
the 1982 British play of the same name is de-
scribed as a “British sex-farce.”
“It means they’re all running around and drop-
ping trousers and a girl in her underwear but it’s
all polite,” said Rust.
The play takes place when a set of actors is pre-
paring for their own play which is about to de-
but. In the fi rst act the audience gets to see the
fi nal moments of the cast preparing for the play,
in the second act the audience sees backstage dra-
ma during one of the productions and in the third
and fi nal act the viewer gets to see the play as it
fi nishes up on tour.
“The play within the play is written (poorly) on
purpose which is to say it’s not a great play but it’s
funny and just kind of stupid and slamming and
running around and crazy stuff,” said Rust.
“And they’re having trouble with it in the re-
hearsal and that’s kind of fun because you’re

Pool Update
In the coming weeks, the
school district will receive the fi -
nal cost estimate of how much the
pool upgrades will cost at Cottage
Grove’s Warren H. Daughtery
Aquatic Center. The district will
receive the schematic designs and
will then get to the construction
documents all with the goal of
beginning construction in Sep-
tember.
The pool is going through ren-
ovations with updates to be to the
pool, the locker rooms and with
future renovations in mind. The
budget for the process is $5.1 mil-
lion which comes from a bond.
Harrison Moving Along
With 90-100 subcontractors
on site each day, the new Harri-
son Elementary School is begin-
ning to take shape. At Monday’s
school board meeting, Matt Al-
len, who is in charge of SLSD’s
maintenance, noted that last week
it appeared that the school was
three weeks behind schedule and
now it is just one week behind.
What has aided the progress is the
nice weather that the area has had.
If individuals from the public
are interested in a tour call the
South Lane School District offi ce
at 541-942-3381.
Dorena picking up STEAM
Dorena School’s principal Lin-
da Folkman how the school is
using STEAM to guide some of
their work. STEAM is a program
that uses science, technology, en-
gineering, art and math to guide
what students are learning. In
this program, teachers are taking
on two lessons from different
areas of STEAM and designing
two one-hour units around them.
These lessons are then taught to a
mixed group of 20 students (K-3
and 4-8). Each month the students
will rotate around the different
lessons on what the school is call-
ing STEAM Fridays.
New Leadership
The meeting marked the fi rst with
Kyle Tucker as acting superinten-
dent, replacing Krista Parent.
