Ventura College Theatre Arts Department is proud to present its spring 2012 Student One Act Play Festival featuring four short one-act plays, The Wedding Story, The Fourth Wall, Smokes Scenes, and Drugs are Bad. In The Wedding Story, a brave narrator attempts to tell the “perfect” wedding story while being interrupted repeatedly by the bride and groom revealing the “real” story. The Fourth Wall explores what a play might look like if the actors’ mistakes were actually part of the script. Smoke Scenes brings together two clever actors who decide to conceptualize smoke 50 different ways in 10 minutes, and Drugs Are Bad shows how two parents deftly influence their son’s behavior. All four plays will be presented at each performance. The Festival showcases the writing, performance, and production skills of numerous Ventura College Theatre students.

A free preview performance will be presented on Thursday evening, February 2, at 8 p.m., followed by performances on February 3-4 at 8 p.m., February 9, 10, 11 at 8 p.m., and a Sunday matinee on February 12 at 3 p.m. All performances will be held in the Wright Library, 57 Day Road, Ventura. Tickets: $7 General Admission, $5 Students/Staff/Seniors. Tickets available at the door only.
