The LIC One-Act Festival 2015--PROGRAM 2
The LIC One-Act Festival is a competition style play festival: Plays are voted on by the audience by ballot, 8 of which progress into the Finals on September 19th, and the winner is ultimately chosen by a panel of judges and the audience. Winners will be announced and awarded during the closing night party hosted by The Secret Theatre.
Prizes will be offered in the following categories:
Best Play ($100)
Best Director ($100)
Best Actor ($50)
Best Actress ($50)
In addition to cash prizes, those plays in the Finals will be offered a chance to be non-exclusively published in The Secret Theatre's Anthology of Short Plays.
NOTE: You must see the ENTIRE program to use your voting ballot
PROGRAM 2
Aaron Leventman's Confessions of a Character Actor - 15 min
David, a struggling, young actor living with his mother in Brooklyn in 1968, gets his big break in the first Hollywood X-Rated film as a character that purchases the services of a male prostitute in a Times Square movie theatre. He must tell his mother of his news, which ends up revealing as much about his personal life as it does the character he's playing in the film. This satire on the making of the film Midnight Cowboy looks at how the inclusion of provocative content in mainstream films at the time reflected on shifting attitudes about sexuality. Our protagonist then struggles to find his personal and professional identify in a quickly changing industry.
Seth Freeman's www.surveyhoney.com - 10 min
An intimate encounter generates some unsolicited reflection on the experience.
Seth Freeman's Match Play - 10 min
A simple date made on-line takes a surprising turn.
Michelle Giusto's Mourning Glory - 10 min
After a young woman dies, her closest friend and former boyfriend meet at her wake. There, they discuss faith, their own methods of grief, and how to move on.
***INTERMISSION***
Tom Block's The Interview- 12 min
Todd is interviewing a director for his first New York production, but he finds that he is being interviewed -- or perhaps completely irrelevant to the production of his own play.
Nicholas Hulstine's Blue Scatters Most - 13 min
Life for meth-heads Matthew, Isaac and Grace exists solely in the past and in their ramshackle house on the outskirts of town. When Grace gives birth to a baby, they must decide where their priorities lie.
Danny Coates-Finke's Video Games - 17 min
Jawan struggles to beat Bloodborne on his Playstation, Jacob and Sandra fight to save their relationship, and the apartment strangles everyone's feelings. Can Video Games save them?
