One-Act Play Festival at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, May 12-14

One-Act Play Festival
Location: Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, in the new Sally Wagner Performing Arts Space (room 004).

Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at 7pm.
Wednesday, May 12, 2015 at 7pm.
Thursday, May 12, 2015 at 7pm.

At Roosevelt every spring, we hold our One Act Festival, in which we showcase many different One Acts. Each One Act is about 10 to 15 minutes, and they are all student directed (and in some cases, even student written). They are a fun opportunity for students to experiment with the different aspects of putting on a play, and getting a closer look at how many things actually go into making a play.

Taylor Mac
The 20th Century Concert: Abridged
Saturday, April 11, 2015 . 8PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

Tickets: Regular: $25, Student: $10. Kogood Theatre, General Admission.

Description: Bedazzled shaman Taylor Mac purges the past by performing a sacrificial ritual of songs from the 20th Century. An internationally acclaimed singer/theatre artist, Taylor Mac brings radical fairy sacrament realness to this concert of popular music classics. Expect at least one song from each decade of the 20th Century to act as a springboard for frivolity, oblation and rapture. This 20th Century Concert is the abridged version of Taylor Mac’s community building odyssey A 24 Hour History of Popular Music. We welcome you to participate in this event. You won’t be forced, but often invited. Sing, play parts, dance, eat, meditate, exercise, sleep, flirt, and on and on, all while listening to how mythology meets melody.
