One Act Festival at the Fauquier Community Theatre
Check Please, Little Women, 13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview
The Fauquier Community Theatre..... Friday & Saturday, 8pm; Sunday, 2pm
4225 Aiken Drive, Warrenton (Vint Hill), VA 20187
Check Please – Dating can be hard. Especially when your date happens to be a raging
kleptomaniac, or your grandmother’s bridge partner, or a mime. Check Please follows
a series of blind dinner dates that couldn’t get any worse- until they do. Could there possibly
be a light at the end of the tunnel?
13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview – When 2 college recruiters at a prestigious
university need to fill one last spot to keep their jobs, thirteen eccentric, dimwitted and
slightly- insane high school seniors are eager to come in for an interview. What seems
like a simple task turns into a nightmare when the applicants turn out to be a reality TV star,
a practicing vampire, an amateur magician, and others that are much, much worse.
Each applicant’s interview hilariously illustrates what NOT to do at a college interview.
Little Women – Under the guidance of their beloved mother, the four young March sisters —
tempestuous Jo, motherly Meg, shy Beth, and spoiled baby Amy — struggle to keep their
family going while Father’s away in the Civil War. In this beautifully dramatized adaptation
of the classic novel, even as privation, illness, and sibling rivalry cast their shadows,
each girl strives to find her true self.
Adult: $12, Senior/Student: $10
