The 15th Annual One-Act Festival features short plays directed and performed by Cleveland Heights High School's Drama Club. The One-Act Festival will be held on Thursday, January 22 and Friday, January 23 at 7:00 p.m. in Heights High School's Main Auditorium. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for open seating and there is no cost for admission.
The 40 students eagerly await the main stage to be converted into a black box theater where the audience can sit on stage and gain a closer look into the performance. The audience can expect to see six outstanding acts that highlight student talent, enthusiasm, and theatrical ability.
The short plays presented this year are:
10 Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse directed by Tasha Bell
Just what it says on the tin; this show demonstrates ten questionably effective ways to survive a zombie apocalypse with slapstick intensity.
Cleveland Clinic directed by Violet Carter
Set at the bottom of Cedar Hill by Cleveland Heights Playwright Eric Coble, this One-Act has its world premiere right here at Heights High eleven years ago! A funny, and accurate, look into the life of a beleaguered physician just trying to get through the day.
Jumping directed by Sophie Petersal
What starts as a suicide prevention becomes a true mid-winter Minnesota meet-cute.
New York Actor directed by Emma Preston
Is anything as fierce, as moving, or as uniquely strange as a New York City actor? This short comedy aims to find out.
Variations on the Death of Trotsky directed by Reece Gosselin
A perennial favorite of the One-Act Festival, this show explores, of all things, the many ways that community revolutionary and political theorist Leon Trotsky may have met his end.
Attack of the Puppet People directed by Abs Burkle
What happens when a sardonic drifter hides out from a (probably) delusional ex-girlfriend in a diner at the end of the shift? Trouble with the waitress, at the very least.
