This One-Act Extravaganza explores themes such as dreams, love, religion, and even headlessness, in broadly absurd comedic fashion! With each play coming in at 30 minutes or less, the directors and actors tackle a variety of wacky situations with aplomb. The production includes:

The Actor’s Nightmare by Christopher Durang (directed by Patrick Houle) taps into everyone’s fear of finding themselves in a situation they are not prepared for—and trying to keep their head on straight.

WASP by Steve Martin (directed by Jory Raphael) offers a satirical and darkly comedic look at a “typical” 1950s Protestant family.

Brothers by William Gadea (directed by Dora Greven) helps put a new twist on finding love and what those personal ads really tell us.

The Devil’s Parole by Eric Giancoli (directed by Glen Eastman) finds Lucifer “bedeviling” God while looking for a loophole for getting out of Hell.
