"Act One, Scene Two" Returns!

February 24 - 26, 2012*
April 12 - May 12, 2012

Here's how "Act One, Scene Two" works: each performance is a collaboration with a different playwright. At the beginning of the show, we interview our featured playwright onstage, to find out what makes he or she tick. Then, that evening's actors do a cold "staged" reading of act one, scene one of the play, which was written for us by our playwright. When we finish the scripted portion, the actors continue on to finish the play -- now un-scripted -- starting from act one, scene two.

The goal is to finish the play continuing to honor the genre, style, and intent of the first scripted scene, creating a piece that causes everyone -- playwright, audience, and actors -- great delight. 

* A special weekend of performances in Redding, CA in conjunction with the Riverfront Playhouse.
