COMMUNITY Tuesday, May 10, 2016 East Oregonian Page 7A PENDLETON Theater inale features variety of one-act plays East Oregonian A smörgåsbord of random one-act plays chosen by a handful of directors are featured in the inal perfor- mance of the 50th anniversary season of College Commu- nity Theatre. The evening consists of seven short plays, directed by Steve Bowen, Matt Henry, Joshua King, Doreen DeBellis Matteson and Craig McIntosh. Calling the production “All Over the Map,” McIntosh said that’s literally what it is. There’s no overarching theme with the plays, he said, which feature different genres, moods and theatrical styles. “From period pieces from the early 20th Century, including two comedies and a chilling Edgar Allen Poe monologue, to contemporary existential contemplations, absurdist social commen- taries, and clever comedies with a twist, there is certainly something for everybody in the evening’s line-up,” McIn- tosh said. The production opens with a Pay-What-You-Can preview night Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Bob Clapp Theatre, located in Pioneer Hall at Blue Mountain Community College, 2411 N.W. Carden Ave., Pendleton. Subsequent performances are Friday, Saturday and May 19-21 at 7:30 p.m. In addition, matinée shows are Photo contributed by Debbie McIntosh Jessica Muñoz, Mattie LeDay and Taylor Hatield re- hearse “Warburton’s Cook,” which is among the one-act plays to be presented by the College Community The- atre.
