One Act Plays
04 July, 2010
The list is in and the cast and crew are out for LTC’s newest one act play productions!
Director: Annette O’Shea
Assistant Director: Viki Hodge
Adult Play ‘LOST’
In this offbeat, quirky comedy Edith, the TR (Temporary Receptionist) at the Big Advertising Agency, has a big problem. She's got something in her cupboard and she doesn't know what to do with it. So who can she turn to? V MacGregor - the AM (Account Manager) - but V has other plans. Tonight she's got some VIB (Very Important Business) with a VIC (Very Important Client) and she's got no time for a rescue mission, especially in Villawood. But Edith can be very persuasive, especially when she wraps herself around your legs and refuses to let go. And so it's off for a big adventure in the distant land of Suburbia. A mysterious place where all is not what it seems. But out there in the middle of divine interventions, mistaken identities, familial connections and bad karaoke singing all - just might await salvation. Mystery, suspense, murder, karaoke, loads of laugh and a whole lot of action with the show for every TR and AD in town - and the rest of us.
CAST
EDITH – Alissa Puurunen
VERONICA – Denise Twite
THE STRANGER – Lordwispa (David Brownell)
GOD - James Evans
Youth Play ‘LAFFIN SCHOOL’
Jokes! Jokes! Jokes! It's the classic situation. A young substitute teacher, Miss Quackenbush, turns up at the Little Red Schoolhouse and finds her class is comprised of the dumbest (and funniest) pupils found anywhere. The previous teacher had a nervous breakdown. No wonder! With things like mice in lunch boxes and a student with the measles, anything more will drive you crazy! Unless the likable but dim-bulbed pupils can pass a simple exam, they won't advance to the next grade. The daffy answers they give to the questions are uproariously funny. Find out why the pupils don't want to be "promoted" and why Miss Quackenbush has to find some way to get rid of them. If you think the four basic food groups are "fresh," "frozen," "fast" and "junk," you belong in Laffin' School!

MISS CRABAPPLE – Lauren Burns
MISS QUACKENBUSH – Shelby Fisher
JACK – Cameron Bianconi
FRED – Corey O’Shea
