West End Players - Waukesha West was selected to present the showcase play at this year's Wisconsin High School Theater Contest.  West's production of the hilarious comedy Noises Off will be the weekend's opening event.  This selection is in recognition of the quality of West productions and its success at the state theater contest over the past several years.  West has won the top award each of the past five years along with numerous awards for acting, directing, and technical theater.  

You don't have to come to the state contest to see Noises Off, though.  The play will be performed at Waukesha West November 3-5.  Tickets are available online at westdrama.com.
