Junior High One Acts Festival Shows

Trip to the Moon

By Tracy Wells

Directed by Elijah Cook and Jonathan Rubin

Set in the transformative summer of 1969, A Trip to the Moon tells the story of people reaching for their dreams … dreams of love, dreams of equality, dreams of the stars. Told around the time of the moon landing, this vignette-style play comprises 8 scenes, each named after an iconic song from 1969. From a girl trying to convince her parent to let her go to Woodstock in “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” to a woman trying to get a job at NASA in “Bad Moon Rising,” to a soldier giving the new guy a reality check in “Fortunate Son,” to a group of protestors showing a girl how to fight for what’s right in “Come Together,” these scenes and more use humor and heart to teach us about who we once were and reflect on who we could be and remind us that to achieve the impossible, we must reach for the stars.

The Mystery of the Silver Backed Hairbrush: A Whodunnit in One Act

By Burton Crane

Directed by Andrew Canter 

When J. Grewsome-Smith, a wealthy bachelor, is murdered at the curtain's open, it's up to the great Chesterton and his trusty sidekick, Dobson, to solve the crime.

Bad Auditions By Bad Actors

By Ian McWethy

Directed by Noa Jaffee and Jonas Warner 

A casting director has one day to find the leads for a community theater production of Romeo and Juliet. But what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of actors includes extreme method actors, performers who just don't know what to do with their hands, and one particular woman who may or may not think she's a cat. This hilarious comedy will bring you to the last place you'd ever want to be...behind the doors of a casting session
