Two One-Act Plays
Written by Rob Matsushita and Doug Reed
Directed by Deanna Reed
About
We performed locally-written plays again in 2008. Rob Matsushita’s The Family Caper: The Tank is a comedy, drama, and love story featuring an oddball cast of characters. It takes place one evening, in a crowded jail cell.
In the Tank, 2008
Fool Me Once, a comedy by Doug Reed, is set in small-town Stoughton, Wisconsin, in 1906. In that era, the Stoughton Opera House was a minor stop on the vaudeville circuit between the big Midwestern cities. The performers this night include The Regurgitator, The Magician and His Boy Wonder, a song and dance combo, comedians, and a fallen opera star. A flood in the dressing rooms forces the performers to squeeze into the tiny green room, with all the stacked and drying furniture. Clashes are inevitable.
