Confetti Stage is proud to present the seventeenth iteration of its
entirely locally written and produced one act plays, Confetti Fest XVII!

Confetti Fest XVII features...
"Grace Notes" by Ingrid Madelayne, directed by Peter Kantor, music
direction by Robin Leary.
In the early days of the 2020 Quarantine, a lonely woman struggles with
depression, as she faces recent and past tragedies. Through “socially
distant” conversation and singing, a friendly neighbor helps her to find
hope and purpose again.

"Desert Roses" by Sean T. Baldwin, directed by Yvonne Perry
Nurse Clare Hansen has been kidnapped by the feared Crow County Copperhead.
Much to her surprise, the Copperhead unmasks herself as a woman and asks
for Clare’s help. Through manipulation, humiliation, and a nurse’s innate
ability to see their patient’s thoughts, the two discover one another’s
deepest secrets and gain a mutual understanding of each other. Seeing her
kidnapper’s inner struggle and good intentions, Clare agrees to help the
bandit just in time for the posse to arrive.

“Orlando at Dawn” by Judith Barlow, directed by Tristan Strasser
On a road trip through deepest Florida, Laurel Miller and her niece
Courtney discover their very different approaches to life. Can a fortyish
ex-hippie and her fastidious tween niece find common ground as they argue
about everything from Minnie Mouse to Transcendental Meditation?

“Gravity” by Laura Darling, directed by Amanda Brinke Dorman, assisted by
Anthony Halloway
When the weight of the thoughts in your own mind seem to hold you down, who
can you turn to? Can you repair damage that someone else gave you? What if
the "cure" hurts more than the scar tissue on your soul? "Gravity" is an in
depth look at a therapy session, asking questions that are more common
behind closed doors than society will allow us to openly discuss.

“The Eye of Selene” by Matt Reichel, directed by Ryan Gangemi, assisted by
Max Beyer
When a woman in ancient Greece tries to elope with her one true love, a
final confrontation with her father threatens to upend her whole plan.

Amy Hausknecht, Rachel Jenack, Robin Leary, Deborah Mazzone, Mathena Rush,
