One-Act Play Festival
Location: Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt.
Tuesday, May 3, 2016
Wednesday, May 4, 2016
Thursday, May 5, 2016
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.
