This Saturday, October 17, PV Theatre will be presenting “Spotlight on a Table for Two,” a combination of six short one-act plays.

There will be two performances of “Spotlight”: a matinee at 1 p.m. and an evening show at 7 p.m. Tickets will cost $5 at the door.

“Spotlight” is a compilation of “6 one-act comedies that all take place at tables for two,” said Mr. Tom Lupfer, one of the directors. “It is an opportunity to showcase smaller plays and give our actors a chance to do work beyond the fall play.”

The show includes the short plays, “Sure Thing” and “The Philadelphia”, both by David Ives, “Love in the Time of Robots” by Mike Anton, “La Mouche” by Stephen Bittrich, “Check Please” by Jonathan Rand, and “Finger Food” by Dean Lundquist.

“Spotlight”, a comedic compilation of one-acts, is a great contrast to PV Theatre’s fall play, “Letters to Sala”, a drama written by Arlene Hutton. The actors working on “Spotlight” are ready to perform and are excited to be on stage before the mainstage fall production.

“‘Sure Thing’ is a conversation at a cafe and every time it takes a wrong turn, a bell rings and they go back in time in the conversation and start over until the end,” said Lupfer.

“The Philadelphia”, on the other hand, is about Marcy, a woman who gets the opposite of everything she asks for. A friend of hers explains that she’s in a metaphysical state, according to Lupfer.

“‘‘The Philadelphia’ is all about this theory that everyone is mentally in a different city. My role is a waitress who is sassy and doesn’t care about her job. It’s really funny,” said junior Sarah McCambridge.

Sophomore Veronica Carbonell will be playing Leah in “Love in the Time of Robots.”

“It’s a funny show about how Leah’s friend Ben thinks that he can get girls by pretending that the two of them are dating and supposedly that will make girls more attracted to him,” said Carbonell.

‘La Mouche’ is, according to Lupfer, a hysterical play about the classic gag of having a fly in the customer’s soup. Within the play, the actors use accents and exaggerated gesticulations to make for a comical scene.

‘Check Please’ is about “a guy and a girl on a series of bad first dates, with different people,” Lupfer said.

‘Finger Food’ has two characters: a fork and a spoon. They are hoping to be used by costumers and, throughout the entire play, they see people ordering foods and wish they could be the ones chosen as utensils.

“My role in ‘Finger Food’ is ‘fork’. The funniest part of the play is probably when I ask the spoon [played by Keara Fernandez], if she wants to ‘spoon’, like the cuddling position,” said sophomore Jessica Snyder.
