An Evening of New One-Acts

HITTING A WALL, by Max Kennell
An overworked college student is about to hit a wall. Hopefully not literally as his wall just revealed itself to be alive.
PATRON OF THE ARTS, by Katharine Rex
What’s going on backstage? Mandy and Kit stumble into a mystery that has its roots in Mandy’s past, and Mandy really dislikes a mystery.
THE LIGHTBOX, by Celeste Smith
After a fumbled ballet recital, Margot Atwood gets a visit from her older sister, Celine, who is asking for her help once again before being discovered by their domineering father. It’s up to Margot to decide whether to reveal Celine’s true intentions or stay loyal to her sister.
