Immerse yourself in an evening of newly discovered comedy one-acts on stage at the Boathouse Theatre October 3rd, 4th, and 5th at 7:30pm. Complimentary Cookies, Coffee, and Tea will be served.

Over 90 one-acts were submitted for consideration in the 2019 Word Wave Play Competition. Theatrical Art professionals selected the top three one-acts to perform as full productions.

Dagney Kerr, “Deanna and Paul” (staged reading) – Judges said, “This play instantly spoke to us. It’s quirky and poetic, with human truths that can speak to anyone. A lovely piece that will tug at your heart-strings, make you laugh, and have you cheering in the end.”

Dave Hanson’s “Cafe D’Automatique” – To anyone that has ever had auto-correct text messages go out without intent, this is your play. A funny take on current faux-pas in the world of dating, this play will definitely tickle your funny bone and have you laughing out loud!

John Paul Porter’s “Funeral for a Friend” – A play about friendship. About sharing our vulnerabilities. About growing older. About saying things you would never say to someone that wasn’t your best friend. Inappropriate, funny, caustic, and irreverent, Liddy & Eleanor maneuver through one of their “closest friend’s” funeral with hilarity.
