A Friendly Competition to Kick Off Ten Fifteen’s Fifth YearA collection of one-act plays, collectively known as One Act Wonders will begin Ten Fifteens Productions’ 2025 season. The three selections have their own directors, but will feature an ensemble cast, and there’s a twist.... The audience will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite, which will then be entered into the American Association of Community Theatre’s One Act Competition. (The same competition the nonprofit theater placed second in the region during the most recent cycle.)
About the Shows:
‘dentity Crisis by Christopher Durang, directed by Ryan Hull
Recovering from a nervous breakdown, Jane is nursed and nagged by her relentlessly cheerful mother, and confused by her oversexed brother—who keeps changing into her father, her grandfather and her mother’s French lover. Eventually all (including Jane’s psychiatrist, who undergoes a sex change operation and swaps places with his wife) change characters again and become Jane herself—leaving her with no identity at all and pointing up the near impossibility of self-identification in our uncertain times.
Out at Sea by Slawomir Mrozek, directed by Karen Bain
Three men starving on a life raft must determine which of them is to become dinner for the other two. One is thin, one is medium, and one is fat. After the men employ a hilariously logical series of civil procedures to arrive at a solution, guess which one has to volunteer!
Conflict by Wade Bradford, directed by Deborah Jensen
A very amusing explanation of how we crave stories in which the protagonist experiences all kinds of hardship.
