This year’s One-Act play is entitled, Small Actors by Stephen Gregg. The play is about a girl named Emily, who desperately wants to play the lead in her high school’s production of Romeo and Juliet. Instead, she gets a one-line, four-word role. Nonetheless, she tells her parents (who will be out of town during the performance) that she got the lead, and suddenly, things spin way out of control. Mom and Dad cancel their vacation plans and invite every relative they can round up to come and see their daughter play Juliet. This outlandishly funny and very touching play is about the roles we all play—in theatre and in life.
