From
over 100 submissions, GLO chose these five excellent plays, all written and directed
by local theater women. Not to play favorites, here they are in the order
performed.
THE
PLAN by Katherine James. Two young gals, former best friends, face up to their
reason for their split when each of them gave up their shared dream to pacify family
demands. Zoë Lillian and Kyra Morling. Directed by Branda Lock.
ALL
ABOUT HAROLD by Diane Grant. Three women share happy memories of the romantic peripatetic
Harold who managed to be their dream-man before slipping away to other shores. Amy
Stoch, Varda Appleton and hilarious Michelle Simek. Directed by Laura Steinroeder.
FIDDLIN’
ON THE MOUNTAINTOP by Robin Byrd. A poignant solo performance of a young country girl
who, all alone, faces the loss of her beloved parent and survives through a love of music.
Bravura performance by Shanel N. Moore. Directed by Julianne Homokay.
VITAL
RECORDS by Alex Dilks Pandola. It’s a Kafkaesque comedy of trying to get
service at some Legal Records Bureau where the attendants weirdly resemble each
other while their attitudes are all to familiarly officious. Kate Torri with Gayla
Johnson who is sublime in three gleeful roles. Directed by Miranda Stewart.
GENTLEMEN’S
PACT by Karen Howes. How does a husband react when a family friend shows up
wanting to marry his wife? In this comedy he gives it serious thought, until the
wife shows up and gives her heated opinion. Eric Toms, Joni Allen and masterful
Daniel Riordan. Directed by Michelle Joyner.
At Miles
Memorial Playhouse, 1130 Lincoln Blvd. S.M., through Nov 15. Tickets at: www.greenlightproductions.org
