If you loved the Garfield Center for the Arts at the Prince Theatre’s recent show Stretchmarks, you’ll be first in line to buy tickets to see Jen Friedman and Melissa McGlynn on stage together again in The Envelope, one of the eight ten-minute plays that make up the 2015 Short Attention Span Theatre (SAST ) production.
“The great thing about SAST is that it affords the opportunity for novice actors to get a taste of performing without making the time and energy commitment required by a full-length play,” said Diane Landskroener, associate producer of the 2015 show. “Of course, we’re very fortunate that some of the area’s best actors also love being part of this always unpredictable, always entertaining performance.”
Featured actors in this year’s play fest are:
Jen Friedman and Diane Landskroener in Funeral Parlor; Brad Chaires, Carl Combs, Sarah Crump, Rachel Goss and Carol Niemand in DMV Anonymous; Erica Combs and Bailey Messick in The Scary Question; Audrey Betley, Bryan Betley, Catherine Bushby, Zach Goss, Jim Landskroener, John Mann, Robert Note, Claire O’Brien, Kirby Powell and Connor Quigg in Nothing; Brad Chaires, Jen Friedman and Melissa McGlynn in The Envelope; Bryan Betley, Howard Mesick, Amanda Fry and Kirby Powell in Wishgranting 101; John Mann and Hester Sachse in Bride’s Dread Revisited; and Jim Landskroener, Melissa McGlynn, Howard Mesick and Kirby Powell in There Shall Be No Bottom.
The eleventh annual ten-minute play festival opens Friday, September 18, and runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday through September 27.
Performances are 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $15 and $5 for students with ID (plays include some adult content, and may not be suitable for children under 13). Call 410-810-2060 or visit www.garfieldcenter.org.
