| Description | Hardscrabble Theater hosts its first-ever One-Act Play Festival, taking place from October 16th through October 18th at its mainstage at St. Thomas Episcopal Church (298 Conklin Street, Farmingdale, NY). The ten plays featured in the festival will be performed twice each, once as a matinee and once in the evening. Renowned actor, radio personality, and Farmingdale native, Rob Bartlett, familiar to many theatergoers for his work in the Broadway plays, Little Shop of Horrors, Chicago the Musical, Little Shop of Horrors, and the revival of Neil Simon's The Odd Couple – and most recently as Hercule Poirot in Manes Studio Theatre of Long Island’s production of Murder on the Orient Express, will direct one of the plays. |
