TheatreWorks Community Players will present the first ever One-Act Play Festival, featuring three original, never-before-staged shows by three aspiring playwrights.
“If Walls Could Talk,” written by playwright Emma Metzger is a drama following a family as the generations pass; the more things change, the more they stay the same will be among the offerings.
“Waiting on the Train Southbend, IN,” by playwright Daniel Van Nostrand, also will be featured in the festival. It is a drama wherein a group of people trying to get home are delayed at the train station, forcing them to pause and benefit from each other’s life advice.
“Dating in the Time of Zombie,” by playwright Chuck Smith, will round out the offerings. It is a dark comedy in which a scientist clings to normal life by attempting to hold a speed dating event, despite Zombies as constant distraction.
Performances are set for Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 3 at 2 p.m., 44 Franklin Street, UPTown Martinsville. All three plays will be performed on each date.
Tickets are $12 each and available at www.TWCP.net.
