We Got Your One-Acts Right Here!
Harlequin Productions of Cayuga Community College is pleased to announce an evening of 4 One-Acts that will be presented in the College's Black Box Theatre Oct. 28-30 and Nov. 4-6. Tickets for the 8PM performances are $1 for students and $5 for general admission and will be available at the door.
This entire evening is under the direction of long time Harlequin Productions advisor, Bob Frame and features new works by four different playwrights. First on the bill is "The Matchmaker's Guide to Controlling the Elements" by John Morogiello; a comic look at the amorous antics of a pair of mismatched office workers. In Tara Meddaugh's "The Scent of Coconut Had Haunted Her for Days" young newlyweds face the uncertainties of pregnancy. How the Middle East war affects three women is the subject of Rosemary Frisino Toohey's "The Body Washer". The final show of the evening, "The Christmas Tuba Festival" by Deborah Finkelstein takes a light-hearted visit to a town where the tuba reigns supreme and no other instruments are allowed. Although the shows don't have a common theme, each one does have characters who speak directly to the audience; "breaking the fourth wall" as they share their story with the audience. 12 CCC students enact all the roles- Sophomores: Courtney Johnston, Christopher Competillo, Kenny Baker, Caryl Frame, Lizzy Fennessy, Tarin Bonvino are assisted by newcomers Alicia Frame, Lauren Maltese, Rachel Bodner, Maria Coleman, Lynsie Ferguson and Nancy Hunt. The company will be assisted by backstage crew: Caryl Frame, Taylor Hildreth, Kelly Berry, Lance Gaines and Joe Campanella.
CCC's Black Box theatre is a limited-seating performance venue which will allow the actor and audience to share an intimate evening of theatre. Working in this space will provide an important educational experience in the lives of these young actors as they must perform within breathing distance of the audience. "Never let 'em see you sweat" will take on a whole new meaning to the cast and crew!
