Step into the world of creativity and curiosity with Staged Strangeness, an extraordinary evening of student-directed one-act plays. Four MoCo Arts high school directors bring their unique visions to life in a diverse lineup of captivating stories:Captive Audience by David Ives | A cautionary fable tells how Rob and Laura face a menace in their living room: a television that talks back to them and threatens to swallow them whole.
37 Scenes & A Watermelon by Ian Downes | This show is a surreal dark comedy exploring a bizarre relationship between a person and a weeping watermelon. Through fragmented scenes of humor, horror, and emotion, the play examines identity, absurdity, and the fragile connections that define us.
Life Line by Douglas Craven | A thin man on a bare stage picks up a phone, desperate for help from the Good Samaritan Life Line. Little does he know that he is about to enter Voice Mail Hell.
Theophilus North (One-Act Version) by Matthew Burnett, based on the novel by Thornton Wilder | Set in the tiny resort town of Newport, RI, during the height of the Jazz Age in summer 1926, Theophilus North follows the exploits of the title character as he searches for adventure and his place in the world. Quitting his teaching position in New Jersey, and stranded in Newport after his jalopy breaks down, thirty-year-old Theophilus takes odd jobs (tennis instructor, French tutor, private reader…) in houses of the wealthy, infiltrating himself into the lives and troubles of Newport’s residents, both upstairs and downstairs. But the greatest adventure in store is not at all what he has imagined.
Don’t miss this exciting showcase of young talent, where imagination takes center stage!
This show contains mature themes. Viewer discretion is advised.
