April Fools (One-Act Comedy Festival)

March 31 – April 2, 2006

THE LAST TOUCHY-FEELY DRAMA ON THE AMERICAN STAGE by Lee Howard and Greg Gamble, directed by Mark Kalet of Somerset, a ludicrously slow-moving father and son reconciliation theatre piece broken down and overanalyzed by a trio of cruelly detached sportscasters

KITTY THE WAITRESS, by Christopher Durang, directed by Jon Heron of New Brunswick, a zany encounter between a patron in a restaurant on a tropical island and his French, preposterously seductive waitress

and SPEED-THE-PLAY by David Ives, directed by JC Gibriano of Franklin Park, a crash-course send-up of David Mamet, presenting the complete works of the master of scatological dialogue in just under ten male-bonding minutes.
