Flaming Idiots Two burned-out postal workers decide to start their own business. The would-be entrepreneurs try their hand at opening a restaurant. Their decision is based on the observation that the ladder to success at the post office is missing a few rungs. They feel that big money is just waiting for people with entrepreneurial spirit and sound business judgment. However...NOTHING SEEMS TO GO RIGHT! From hiring staff to opening the restaurant, chaos reigns. They flounder and eventually come up with a scheme to drum up business for their new venture. Flaming Idiots is a contemporary farce that delivers more laughs than food. A great way to start off the season. |

A Bowl of Rose Leaves Roseburg playwright Fred Smith introduces us to Axel Slobovich, an artist who is confronted with his past, is reconciled with it, deconstructs "modern art" and its practitioners, and everyone lives more or less happily ever after. This is the premier of a new serious/comedy that has only had two staged readings; one in San Francisco and the other at the Northwest Regional New Plays Conference at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. Fred Smith moved to Roseburg a few years ago from the San Francisco area where he was a working artist and actor. |

Love Letters
This
production contains language that may not be appropriate
for children.
This Pulitzer Prize for Drama nominated play centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepiece Ladd III, whose friendship has consisted solely of letters written to each other. They sit side by side at tables and read the correspondence - in which they discuss the hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats that have passed between them throughout their separated lives. It is only at the sad ending that they realize they were really love letters all along. This play is described by the author as a performance piece and is read rather than memorized and played on a bare stage with a minimum of staging. Sponsored by: A Friend of UACT |
