This novel play permits the audience to act as a jury and vote whether Barbara Scott on trial for the murder of Chester Arthur Brant is innocent or guilty. The cause of Barbara Scott, defended by her attractive lawyer sister Edith and prosecuted by dynamic Allan Woodward, seems hopeless at the outset. Step by step, Allan relentlessly builds the case against her, including her purported confession and the dramatic testimony of Brant’s fiancee who claims she saw Barbara in almost the very act of firing the fatal shot. Edith doggedly fights back and she is finally rewarded when help arrives from a totally unexpected source. Conflict and tension build until the audience renders its verdict.

Performances will be held at the Bowie Center for the Performing Arts. Friday, October 21 at 7 PM, Saturday, October 22 at 7 PM and Sunday, October 23 at 2 PM. Tickets $5 at the door.

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.
