One Act Festival: Questions/Choices/Consequences
October 5-7
The American Century
By Murphy Guyer
Directed by
Alexandra Gische
It’s the Spring of 1945. The war has ended and Tom Kilroy is returning stateside to the girl who got him through it. Their reunion is a Norman Rockwell illustration come to life. A joyful delirium of tears, laughter, and plans for the future. Then the future
drops in. An encounter no plan ever survived. The Greatest Generation meets the Me Generation and belief in progress becomes just that much more difficult to maintain.
The Moon Please
By Diana Son
Directed by
Maya Mazor-Hoofien
It is a morning as any other at the beginning of the 21 st century, and a young couple argues over who is going to work and who’s going to stay home with their newborn baby. The choice they make will forever change their destiny, because that morning an event will take place that will forever change the world as we knew it.
The Proposal
By Anton Chekhov
Directed by
Dylan Blanchard
A young but highly neurotic and hypochondriac Ivan Vasilyevich Lomov comes to propose marriage to an equally young but highly volatile and moody Natalya Stepanova Chubokova. It gets difficult, and then even more difficult, and then even more so… A classic farce from one of the greatest playwrights of all ages.
