Saturday January 24th, the Commonweal Theatre will be presenting an evening of original ten minute plays written, directed, and acted by the in-house talent of the company. The idea was born out of the desire to flex other artistic muscles that we don’t necessarily get to work on as much as others.
Hence the night, which will be a culmination of six hours of rehearsal (for each show) and a short tech spread over the course of the week. Included in the programming is my play, U.S. Grant and Lincoln Log, which I have also directed. The night also features I died and went to heaven… written and performed by Tod Petersen, Five Dollars by Tom Willoughby and directed by Bailey Otto, The Brothers Two by Gary Danciu and directed by David Hennessey, The Server by Scott Dixon and directed by Megan K. Pence, and Rage at the Light by Harold N. Cropp and directed by Ana Hagedorn.
It’s been a very rewarding week of work and I know we’re ready to get these little beauties up on their feet- for one night only!
