It's All Just an Act @ LTCC
The Theatre Arts Department at Lake Tahoe Community College welcomes you to It's All Just An Act: Three One-Act Plays, taking the stage at LTCC’s Duke Theatre. Each performance includes three separate comedic plays, with different directors and actors bringing the hilarity to life.
Boise Idaho: a comedy written by Sean Michael Welch and directed by Kelly Cassidy. The narrator of a story dutifully chronicles the meeting of a couple in a small café in Paris, only to start losing control of his characters once they realize he exists. Blending the lines between fiction and truth, this hilarious play examines what should triumph: reality, or a good story. Cast: Gary Edwards, Brandon McCarthy, Frank Riley, Marianne Rosenfeld.
Compromising Positions: a comedy written by Michelle Benson and directed by Jeff Witt. An aging couple named Harold and Alice decide to get frisky one evening in the living room and end up stuck on the recliner. Teenage son Jake and grown daughter Alice must come to the rescue! This play received the 2015 prize for best one-act play at the WordWave storytelling festival in South Lake Tahoe. Cast: Chase Kalik, Thea Newhouse, Chris Taylor, Pam Taylor.
Squirrels: a comedy written by Peter J. Stavros and directed by Brandon McCarthy. The focus is on Jim, who has been working for the same company for so long he’s actually lost track of the years. With the threat of layoffs coming, Jim’s safe job just might be coming to an end. Cast: Robin Gershbein, Kalayna Miller, Janel Morales, Brett Robinson, David Wright.
