One Act Festival Schedule

One Act Festival!

Children’s Reader’s Theater
From a book by Caroline Feller Baurer
Directed by Rita Smith

“Children’s Theater” is a new adventure for Peninsula Players. I chose 3 simple “Reader’s Theater” plays for this evening and developed them into 3 short plays. The cast is a wonderful group of enthusiastic children. They have worked very hard learning lines, stage directions and all that goes into performing on stage. I want to also thank all my parents for their help with costumes, props, helping their children learn their lines, and just being there for their children and me!

Motorcycle Mama
Written and Directed by Jan Bono*

In “Motorcycle Mama,” Martha, a rather unassuming senior citizen, but still with plenty of spring in her step, wants to learn to ride a motorcycle. It’s on her “bucket list” and she is eager to get on a bike for the first time in her life. She goes to a local motorcycle repair shop and asks for someone to teach her to ride. She is met with much opposition from the mechanics at the shop until she offers to pay for the instruction.
Money talks, but first Martha must complete some menial maintenance tasks before Rawlin, the shop owner, will allow her to even sit on a bike. She agrees, and what transpires during her first “lesson” makes for a feel-good, heart-warming story.

Ilwaco’s Winoceros
Written and Directed by Joe Paliani*

The Time is the Present. The Setting is a fictitious restaurant in Ilwaco harbor overlooking the fishing boats. The cast consists of three diners and a waiter. The Waiter finds most Diners boring and terribly unknowledgeable about wines; he therefore often likes to poke fun and joke with the customers, at their expense. In this play, the Diners are at first unaware of how sophisticated The Waiter is about wines, and how much there is to learn about fine wine. The challenge for the three diners is to succeed in placing an order for wine and food, orders which The Waiter is apparently in no hurry to take – lest the diners choose the wrong wines! — or ask for the right wines, but at the wrong temperatures!

All I Really Need to Know
I Learned by Being in a Bad Play
Written by Werner Trieschmann
Directed by Ed Ahlers

The play is Romeo and Juliet. Everyone remembers this play. We all read it in Jr. High. Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love,… like I said, we all know the story. But what really happened? As the late Paul Harvey would say, what is ‘the rest of the story?’ No, not with Romeo and Juliet, with producing the play? What could possibly happen when a community theater group decides to do a play published 412 years ago?

Friday, August 28, 7:00 p.m.

Sunday, August 30, 2:00 p.m.

Learn from the Master Set Builder

Peninsula Players,
As most of you know, I’m “passing the torch” to others to build the stage sets, and I would like to teach others what little I know. Therefore, I am having a workshop this Saturday starting at 10 AM at the Second Story Playhouse in Ilwaco, We will spend time on set terms, set design, what makes a good set, and we will build some flats for the next play.
