[Capdist-announce] Confetti Fest Returns for 13th Year of Original Short Plays!

[Confetti Stage]

Confetti Stage Theater is excited to be presenting the 13th incarnation of
its annual short play festival, Confetti Fest, this October in downtown
Albany. The number 13 has long been believed to be unlucky, and perhaps
that is fitting for a year that features so many characters who are unlucky
at love.

>From playwright Julie Demers, there is The Absolute Coherent Justifications
of a Rational Human Being’s Behavior -or- The Apology, the darkly hilarious
story of a woman named Allison who refuses to move on after a man she has
dated starts seeing another woman. No-Kill Shelter by Brenda Kilianski
introduces us to Sarah, another woman on the prowl who tries to pick up men
at a local animal shelter...with some very unsettling results. In Welcome
to Sammy’s, by Steve Maggio, a high-schooler name Sammy takes a job at a
local fast food business, where nothing he does seems to impress his
attractive co-worker (or anyone else, for that matter). Richard Landers
gives us an awkward take on “meeting the parents” with Lust in the Time of
Isis, the story of a mother and father struggling with the news that their
daughter wants to move to Syria with her new boyfriend. Finally, there is
the lyrical and surreal story of Bleached Blind, by Sunny da Silva. Annette
is a woman whose eyes can neither close nor see, yet the images of former
loves are burned into her mind.

There is sure to be something for everyone in this new and exciting
celebration of Capital Region talent! Confetti Stage prides itself on being
the first theater in the area to produce an entire festival of original
works written, acted, and directed by local artists. Reserve your tickets
today to support the amazing talent that our community has to offer!
