One-Act Play Festival

Location: Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt.

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 most are 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 get a closer look at how many things actually go into making a play.

This Year’s One Acts Include:
Death Comes to my Friends” Directed by Mariah Arrington & Pearl Nissen
“Joan the Girl of Arc” Directed by Emma Jett & Maeve Baker
“Time Flies” Directed by Kainoa Sittman
“Driver’s Test” Directed by Megan Conover
“Greater Tuna” Directed by Mr. Mannino
“Family 2.0” Directed by Mr. Mannino
“Captive Audience” Directed by Mr. Mannino
“Cabaret” Directed by Xaria Lambright-Davis

The One Acts will be performed on May 3, 4, & 5 in the Drama Room (004).

Five or six of the eight plays will be performed each night. For the detailed schedule click here.

Assassins at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 29-May 22

Assassins at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 29-May 22

Assassins
book by John Weidman, based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr.
Directed by Michael V. Hartsfield
Produced by Maureen Rogers
Words and Music by Words and Music by Stephen Sondheim

Friday April 29, 2016 through Sunday May 22, 2016

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American dream.

Performances run weekends from Friday April 29, 2016 through Sunday May 22, 2016 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. Tickets are $22 for general admission. Admission for students (12 and under), active duty military and seniors (65 and over) is $17. Tickets can be purchased by clicking the link below. For further information, please call 301-617-9906 and press 2, or contact Maureen Rogers at maureencrogers@gmail.com or 301-452-2557.
