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
