The One-Act Play Festival hits the stage at the Masque Theatre in Muizenberg this evening, Thursday March 14.
The four festival plays are Inheritance by Dawn Garisch, Let’s Get Meta by Robin Hoole, Tommy and Dominick by Lauren Bates, and Wrong Faces by Alex Silberbauer.
The festival director, Melanie O’ Connor Horn, of Mowbray, was responsible for selecting the works and appointing a director for each.
“Casting the plays came next. That was quite tricky, but I am thrilled to say that several very talented actors will be making their debut appearance on the Masque stage,” she said.
Ms O’ Connor Horn was part of the Spotlight Youth Theatre production team behind Mowgli’s Story, staged at Theatre Arts in Observatory last December, and she also helped to organise the Masque’s Take a Child to the Theatre Day coming up on Wednesday March 20 when families can experience an improvised-theatre session run by Debbie Gildenhuys and the Spotlight Youth Theatre performers and get a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes at The Masque.
The One-Act Play Festival starts with Inheritance and Let’s Get Meta this evening from 7.30pm. You can watch Tommy and Dominick and Wrong Faces tomorrow, at 7.30pm and again on Saturday March 16, at 2.30pm, followed by Inheritance and Let’s Get Meta at 7.30pm.
