Last Friday was the final showing of the 5th 19th Annual One Acts. In reality they were 23rd annual, but in an effort to not seem stale South Theater fudges the age. The night was full of rollicking comedies and fantastical, sometimes dark, dramas. Following tradition, the night featured 8 plays all written, directed, and acted by South students.
Each play had great actors, and some had outstanding ones. Often times when the story or writing seemed to be lagging a great performance picked it right up.
While the night as a whole consisted of very solid plays, the more iffy moments came with the drama’s which were sometimes confusing or strange, and when in some plays the genders of the characters did not match the actors. This was confusing and made it hard to remember which character was which.
Overall, the one acts shined with witty writing terrific acting and rock solid directing.
