The 3rd Annual One Act Festival

One Act Festival 

February 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, & 12

Tickets are available online by clicking here!

The Indiana Players proudly present the Third Annual One Act Festival. This year's festival boasts an eclectic mix of six plays, ranging from deeply moving, highly traditional theatre to zany improvisational experiments. Your emotions are in for a rollercoaster ride as we move from high comedy to tragedy to farce to tearjerker all in the space of a curtain closing. The shows are as follows:

Apollo and Daphne

Adapted from Ovid by Emily Fisher. Directed by Jeremiah Fisher.

Adapted from the Graeco-Roman Myth penned by the poet Ovid, this short tells the story of how Cupid, after quarrelling with Apollo, uses his arrows to make him fall in love with the proud nymph Daphne. Having sworn herself to life-long maidenhood, Daphne makes a desperate attempt to escape the god of light, turning the river god Peneus for help.

 

Indiana Improv

Written & directed by Andrew Hastings.

This hilarious one-act is a game show that involves improv. There are four improv actors, a host, another host, and a dad. This one-act will include audience participation. There will be four improv games including, "Story Telling", "Story, Story, DIE!", "Party Quirks", and "World's Worst".

 

Overtones

Written by Alice Gerstenberg. Directed by Bill Herring.

Jealousy of love and money forces cultured and proper socialites to suppress their crude and real innermost feelings in this classic short from Alice Gerstenberg.

 

Writer's Choice

Written & directed by Alycia King.

Did you ever wonder where the characters from your favorite stories started? In Writer's Choice follow three characters as they are taken on a roller coaster of a journey as the writer writes a story about them. They have no control of their destiny in this short comedy.

 

Night Song

Written by Ray Werner. Directed by Sara Steelman.

Ray Werner's Night Song is a brief drama about the difficult situation facing many families: How can a long, loving marriage survive when one of the couple is suffering from Alzheimer's disease? Werner's play is not for children, but it offers a powerful and touching look at two people struggling to continue their life together.

 

Absolution

Written & directed by Ronald L. Murphy, Jr.

Absolution is the examination of the interpersonal relationship between two brothers and their place in the universe. It delves into spiritual and social arguments, unfolding in a mature, frank discussion.
