Following the opening performances of Series A of this winter’s
Strawberry One Act Festival is Series B, February 11th & 12th at 9pm, a shorter series for the late night
crowd. But a lack of quantity does not mean a lack of quality. These three
plays pack a powerful punch and are sure to leave you wanting to come back for
more.
The first play in the series, Role Reversal by Rebecca
Stahl asks, “If you had the chance to take revenge for a past event,
would you take the opportunity?” If a man took advantage of you, would
you go far enough to harm him? Even if it would jeopardize your career? Where
is the line? And what happens, for whatever reason, if you feel you can’t
trust the person who’s assigned to help you, even perform
medical procedures?
In Across by Michael Swiskay, two successful professionals
staying in hotel rooms across from one another meet naked through their
windows. From there, a wild romance ensues. Swiskay’s play captures
many different moments in the quick-witted couple’s relationship
including meeting the parents, their honeymoon, and a lot of making out.
The final play of the series, The World’s
Best Therapist by Jack Spagnola follows a a man and woman in their journey
of self-discovery and therapy. Though their therapist uses rather experimental
methods, he seems to help them on their quest to be happy with minimal issues.
That is, of course, until he sets the two up on a date.

Festival. Premiering February 11th and 12th at 9 PM. Tickets for Series B and
