Inaugural One Act Evening

Bare Oaks Players is pleased to announce our first One Act Evening.
Three (3) one-act plays are currently in rehearsal stage and based on what I have seen to-date, it’s going to be GREAT!

All 3 plays will be presented together, as a package of One Acts.  We have confirmed the performances dates for August 2014.
Reserve your tickets today!

What will be presented and how long is each play?

The first one act play is entitled “Post-Its” written by Paul Dooley and Winnie Holzman. Duration: Approx. 15 minutes
The authors refer to this lovely piece as Notes on a Marriage and will be performed by Judy M. and Gary A.
It will be followed by “Nude on the Beach” written by Martin E. Williams and Johnna Adams. Duration: Approx. 15 minutes
A play setting which delivers a strong message about relationships and will be performed by Royce N. and Suzy B.
We will then have a 20-30 minute intermission in order to prepare the stage for the final production, “Visitor from Forest Hills” written by Neil Simon.
Duration: Approx. 30 minutes.
For those thespians out there, this is an extract from Plaza Suite (A full 4 Act play).
A wedding preparation so farcical, it WILL make you laugh. The leads roles will be performed by Steve M. and Joy T.

Performance dates
August 9th, August 16th and August 23rd.
Starts at 8:00pm at the Outback – Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park.
Reserved seats only.
$5/person for  3 one act plays. What a deal for an hour of entertainment!

We will also have some set design (albeit basic) to enhance your viewing pleasure.
Looking forward to seeing you in the audience.

OUR LOGO
We are getting very close with the final design. Until we have confirmed the font, dimensions and converting it using more sophisticated software (matrix based), we will use this one.

Poetry reading
Wow. Our event of June 22nd, 2014 was so well received, that we were asked to arrange another Poetry gathering.
Well, it is set for Sunday July 27th @ 3:00pm. This time, rather than a lunch Potluck, we will have a Tea Poetry Afternoon.
Check out the Bare Oaks calendar for details.

Other events evolving with Bare Oaks Players
Dine and Listen
In association with the Bare Bistro, we are now featuring musical talent.
We have someone lined up for this summer, a contemporary singer-songwriter Jesse Elliot.
Jesse Elliot will be performing every Saturday (with the exception of Saturday July 5th, 2014) at the Bare Bistro from 6pm to 8pm.
Writing Club
Some members have mentioned their ‘ink’ling  to put pen to paper and write something, possibly a play to be performed next season (2015-2016).
Some members have already started writing pieces and are looking for a platform to help them or simply enhance their writing experience.
On Saturday July 12th, a gathering of writers will take place in the Clubhouse meeting room from 1:00pm-2:30pm.
One of the projects that we have started, is a Dinner Theatre Murder Mystery script, that we hope to present sometime in our next season 2015-2016.
