Potomac Playmakers' Third Annual One Act Play Festival
The Potomac Playmakers’ Third Annual One Act Play Festival will be held July 13-15, 2018 at The Women’s Club, located at 31 S. Prospect Street, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740. Showtime for the Friday and Saturday performances will be at 8:00 pm, while the Sunday matinee performance will be at 3:00 pm. Admission will be free to the public, but donations are gratefully accepted in order to defray costs of rent and other expenses related to the production. This year's festival features three local playwrights from our One Act Play writing competition, and an additional play from Frostburg State's One Act competition. The four One Acts are:
“A Mother’s Love” by Amelia Lowry, Directed by Angelina Guiducci, and Starring Tom Doty, Stephanie Ann Lucille Heward, and Jacob Reese – A mother delivers a baby boy, only to find out that the baby is an intellectual who may have heard a little too much Nietzsche in the womb!
“Tailored” by Jeffrey A. Marcum, Directed by Lori Goodnow with Greg Berezuk, and Starring Tom Doty, Jake Smith, Kaitlyn Teach, and Jeff Wine – A son returns to his hometown for the first time in years for his father’s funeral, and visits the tailor’s shop where he used to work to get a new suit. But, the tailor may have a different design on the young man as the tailor weaves a plot to unite the man with the tailor’s daughter.
“Where’s Gus?” by Charlie Perkins, Directed by Jim Zuna, and Starring Stephanie Ann Lucille Heward, Kaitlyn Teach, and Jeff Wine – A dog’s owner brings a new cat into the home, and the dog isn’t happy with this new development, especially as he can’t find the older dog who’s been missing for a while! The kitten, meanwhile, can think of nothing but escape. Can the young dog work together with the kitten and teach her the ways of the world, just as a burglar arrives?
“The Snallygaster” by Kristen Evans, which was a winning play in the Frostburg University One Act Play writing Competition. In the play, Directed by Maverick McKee and Starring Sean Besecker, Stephanie Ann Lucille Heward, and Jacob Reese, a husband and wife are at the crossroads of their marriage in the husband’s dead-end hometown.
