PictureSummer Company - Winning One Act Plays will be produced, directed and performed by staff, summer company and community actors.
On Wednesday, August 12, at 7:30 P.M., St. Croix Festival Theatre will hold its fourth annual One-Act Play Contest.  This year four plays have been selected for reading by members of Festival Theatre’s acting company.  The plays are all original submissions by playwrights with origins in or ties to Wisconsin and Minnesota, were selected based upon originality, quality of plot and dialogue, and creativity.  At the reading first, second and third place winners will be chosen by the four member reading committee who made the original selections and Festival Theatre’s Artistic director, with input from the audience members in attendance at the reading.

The four plays cover a broad range of subject matter.  “Postage” by Portia Turner, (Wauwatosa, WI), is the story of three young professionals working in the mailroom of a publishing house, each with aspirations of moving upstairs. 

In “Not Any More” by Paul Tinsley (Glenview, IL), Alan’s wife, Amy, has died and Alan can’t help replaying several scenes from their married life together.

“When Cows Attack” by Andy Davis (La Crosse, WI), a bovine tragedy with romantic overtones, relates what unfolds when a neighbor’s bull is inexplicably eaten by the rogue cow it was meant to inseminate.

In “Roxanne” by Deanna Strasse (North Prarie, WI), a ventriloquist pleads with her dummy who refuses to go on stage with her.

Several of the playwrights will be in attendance at the reading and following the judging of the plays the audience will be invited to engage with the playwrights in discussing what they have experienced.  Because of the adult nature of some material, it is recommended that only high school age and older audience members attend these readings.  It promises to be an interesting and enlightening evening at Festival Theatre and all are invited to attend.  There will be a ten dollar admission charge and reservations are recommended.
