Two reality TV game show hosts danced down the isles to mambo music and promised one audience member they could help her find her way to okie-dokie land, kicking off the Ventura College student-directed one-act plays. One-acts are short, segments of plays.

The Student One-Act Play Festival feature one-acts of four different plays all produced, directed, constructed, written, and performed by the students of the VC theatre arts program. Audience member and VC business economics student Mike Noll said he thought the one-acts were very enjoyable.

“They seemed very professional,” said Noll. “You can tell they put a lot of work into it.” The Student One-Act Play Festival was held in the Ventura College theatre April 27-30 and continues May 5-7 at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. on Sunday. General admission is $5 and $3 for students, staff, and seniors. Tickets are available at the door prior to performances.

The festival begins with “Attack of the Moral Fuzzies” written by Nancy Beverly. BethAnn gets called up from the audience and has to make quick moral decisions for a reality TV show, or face the alternative of becoming an idiot who cannot even match her own socks in the morning. Then, continues with “Game Theory” by Peter Sagal as two business professionals who were sent to “Executive Boot Camp” try to tactfully manipulate each other to cross the line.

The festival concludes with a one-act adapted from the TV show “The Twilight Zone” called “Origin of Species”.

Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes are stuck in a rut, but wake-up one morning and find themselves in a strange dilemma over a push of a button that could make them millionaires.
