| "Pandora's Box"-- Original, short plays, monologues, poems and a little song and dance. Anything can happen, and it will. What surprises are in store? Open up to a brave new world where actor/writers bare their souls with laughter and tears and share with the audience what it is to be human. Three plays will be performed, including a play written and directed by Jeremy Hanes about a perfect date, a play written and directed by Kristine Purcell exploring life and work in a cubicle, and a play written and performed by Samantha Sterns and Crystal Sloan where characters sort though feelings and choices. In addition to the plays, there are monologues and poems that explore a broad gamut of topics, including overcoming the trauma of physical abuse; the challenge of living by your own rules; murder and a string of pearls; and the experience of facing death and surviving. Monologists include Kim Folck, Erick Rozet, Ruby Davis, and Elizabeth Lambert. Poet and Moorpark College faculty member, Kathryn Adams, performs her poem, “Stopping Time.” “Bob Ferber,” a video photographed and narrated by Paul Rousch, reveals Bob’s joy in a life of service. Song and dance includes original music by Jenna Gillespie for Irish dance performed and choreographed by Maggie Darlington and for lyrics written and sung by Taylor Bradley. Natasha Patel dances and tells us about the Indian film genre, “Bollywood.” Moorpark College faculty member, Beth Megill, performs two pieces she has choreographed that merge dance with comedy. Speaking of comedy, Kevin Shacter, Jesse Taylor, and David Wright along with a mime, who shall remain anonymous, provide humor throughout the evening. |
