An Evening of One Act Plays
October 10, 22, 17, 18, 24 & 25
Theatre at It's Most Fun!
Enjoy three wonderful one-act plays in a single evening. Each play tugs at a different emotional cord ... one may make you laugh, one may make you cry, and one may make you think.
In Elegy for a Lady, a man in his later years is losing his younger mistress to cancer.
In Mr. Mortan Waits for His Bus, an anxious rookie cop babysits a corpse on a Fourth of July weekend.
In Crazy Eights, the audience become witness to a budding, off-center romance that may or may not be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
