An Evening of Two One-Acts
MONTE AZUL, by Laura Gracie
A whimsical play showing an older woman’s wish to return to her hometown and the ensuing conflict with her daughter.
RAPID UNSCHEDULED DISASSEMBLY, by Roger M. Henry
Isn’t it crazy when you run into an old friend at the market? And, isn’t it crazy how many luxuries and opportunities are available in that market? And, come to think of it, isn’t it crazy with the amount of civil liberties we take for granted in this country? Or maybe it’s just you. Either way, it’s probably time to burn it all down.
