2nd Act Players One-Act Play Festival

The 2nd Act Players is excited to introduce two new works for the stage at its One-Act Play Festival opening March 11 and running weekends through March 26. These plays are the winning play scripts from our first-ever competition chosen from over 60 entries! Come see "Falling into Macy," a story about love and "The Last Days of Wonder."

"Falling Into Macy" by Richard Lyons Conlon, looks at the lives of two couples, one older and falling out of love, the other younger and trying desperately to find love. Flitting between them is Macy. Is she love personified? Hope? Male lust? The voice of reason? Come see the show and you decide.

"The Last Days of Wonder" by Tess Light looks at the love between a mother and her two adult daughters. Mother has lived a wild life, traveling all over the world while leaving the raising of her daughters to others. But late in her life, she wants them near to discuss what could very well be the last decision she makes on this earth. Will her daughters put their own sibling rivalry aside to obey their mother in her hour of need? Come and find out.
