Slightly Off-Center Players’ One Act Festival set for April 11-12

    DOVER-FOXCROFT — The Center Theatre announces The Slightly Off-Center Players One Act Festival will be held on Friday, April 11 and Saturday, April 12 at 7 p.m.

    “The Slightly Off-Center Players have learned a lot and matured as a group in this past year,” says Executive Director Angela Bonacasa. “The Radio Shows and classes offered over the winter have given people opportunities to explore acting and directing without the time commitment of a full production.  Most of the directors for the festival have not directed a major piece before, so this is their first time having a fully realized production on stage.  It’s a thrill for them, of course, as well as their actors.”
    The performances will include excerpts from Chekhov’s “The Proposal”, Susan Glaswell’s “Trifles” and William Gibson’s “The Miracle Worker.” Original pieces will include an adaptation of Chekhov’s “The Boor” and world premieres of several scripts, including “Who Cares?” by Mark Stevens and “The Fairytale Garden” by Chelle Atwater. The casts include adults and children of all ages.
    Tickets will be available at the theatre door. A list of all the pieces scheduled to perform is available on the Center Theatre website at www.centertheatre.org.
    The Center Theatre is a non-profit performing arts center dedicated to making the arts a part of life in the Maine Highlands.
