Geneva College students will present One Acts—short plays ranging from 15 to 25 minutes in length—from Thursday, April 23 through Saturday, April 25, 2015. The title for the show, which is primarily directed and performed by students, is “Lovers, Thieves and Chimpanzees … Something’s Fishy.”
There will be six acts involving different students for each play. The show consists of “Word, Words, Words” directed by Austin Jarvi, “Party to Remember” directed by Haley Milligan, “Frozen Fish Sticks” directed by Chris Strangfeld, and “The Story of Hope,” “Her Heart” and “This Hurts,” all directed by Mindy Williams.
Jarvi is very excited this opportunity: “Directing is much different from acting, which most of us involved in theater at Geneva are used to. It’s nice to have creative control to do whatever I can picture in my head, and then to see it actually happen a few weeks later.”
“Frozen Fish Sticks” director Chris Strangfeld loves one acts because “they allow new students to get into the theater and develop acting skills,” he said. “For instance, my one act features two first-year students, one sophomore, and one wily veteran, senior Ruth Martin.” Strangfeld said.
Strangfeld continued, “The one acts are very diverse. Several genres are represented, so it should be appealing to all audiences, providing a good balance between comedic, romantic and serious.”
All shows begin at 8 p.m. in the Bagpiper Theater and cost $1. Seats are first-come, first-served.
