One Act Play Weekends

A regular feature of KWLT, the One Act Play Weekends allow residents of all ages the chance to become involved in the theatre experience and broaden their knowledge of not only acting but directing, stage managing, set and technical design, costumes and props. Hope to see you there!

JULY '06 OAPW

The plays we'll be presenting are...

• Ten Year Awakening By Angi Noe

  What happens when the ghosts of high school years past come back to haunt eight "friends" at their reunion? Some may laugh. Some may cry. Some may be reminded of just how nasty and unpleasant their classmates really were. One thing is for certain; nobody will leave their "ten year awakening" without discovering, first hand, what words like "friendship", "loss" and "love" really mean. Dig out your old suits and pull up a chair. We've got a lot of catching up to do.

• Babels in Arms Written by David Ives, directed by Andrew Frey

  Did you ever have one of those days when your boss gave you an impossible job? After a few minutes with Gorph and Canniphlit, you’ll soon realize that your mountain is just a mole hill and their mole hill is bigger than any mountain. What are two blue-collar Mesopotamian construction workers supposed to do when they’re contracted to build the Tower of Babel? Get out of it, of course.

• Ode to Humanity, or the History of the Human Race – Abridged By Michael Kearns

  Tonight is a once in a lifetime experience. Join four of the most talented performers ever to be in this play, as they complete what they, in their humble opinions believe to be the most important experience ever to play upon the theatre stage – Ode to Humanity, or the history of the human race – abridged! This show will recreate human history to this point – from our beginnings as cave dwellers bent on survival to our present existence as couch potatoes bent or survival. Relive all of human history- really, really quickly! Where: St. Jacobs Church Theatre, St. Jacobs When: July 27, 28 and 29 at 8pm, plus a 2pm matinee on July 29.
