A Night of One Acts


     February 6th through the 8th, The Theatre Program will be putting on two one acts each night starting at 7 p.m. Both plays will be comedies, and are sure to fill Greer with laughter galore. Be sure to check it out and support our talented young actors.

     The first play is a comedy, with a mostly female, cast titled Chamber Music. This piece is about a group of women in an insane asylum that all believe they are famous women from history such as; Amelia Earhart, Osa Johnson, Gertrude Stein, and Joan of Ark. The piece is quite comical, with several great moments that will suck you in.  What do they want?  Is someone out to get them?  Can they defend themselves against the inherent dangers of the asylum?  All questions you will be asking yourself during this rollercoaster of a meeting they will be attending.

     The second play is a comedy about a young Napoleon Bonaparte (played by Caleb Chase in one of his last performances at CCC) caught in a battle of wits with a sly young woman (up and coming freshman Audrey Fox) titled The Man of Destiny.   This is a brilliant piece by noted author George Bernard Shaw.  Shaw is possibly best know for his play Pygmalion that was later turned into the Musical My Fair Lady. The piece also stars two great side characters; an Italian innkeeper, and a self-confident young lieutenant. Their are plenty of great moments of conversational humor that is sure to leave the audience with rib cramps.

    Audience members will be seated on the stage and will be only a few feet from the actors. So get ready for some up close and personal moments from the characters. Be sure to come out to see what is sure to be a night of laughter and cheers.
