Theatre unlocks something really magical in kids. Watching it teaches them that they live in a world where anything is possible, and making it helps them find their place in that world. I could also stand on a rooftop and shout for days about the impact arts-based learning within the classroom has on kids - on their confidence, their enthusiasm for learning, and their ability to succeed in school. Like I said, it's magic!

Noises Off remains the hardest to perform play ever written, as well as one of the easiest and most fun to watch. The Play That Goes Wrong tried to surpass it, but it can't be done. Playwright Michael Frayn's 1982 play could be called a love letter to theatre people if it weren't the play that threatens to undermine their work because the play within the play that nestles inside it foils their ability to stay wrong. Want to laugh? Keegan's production runs through September 1.
