Applause Community Theatre is excited to present another evening that showcases the talents of Minnesota playwrights after our successful run in October. This one-act festival explores the theme of redemption and the quest the characters are taking or refusing to take on this journey.
The Piano Teacher by Terry Newby Directed by Debbie Schneider The Piano Teacher explores the limits of healing and redemption, and forces us to confront how we treat those we have harmed, and how we treat those who have harmed us. Told through the eyes of Army veteran Jeremy Witherspoon, The Piano Teacher asks viewers to consider whether forgiveness is earned or simply owed, and whether redemption without obligation is ever possible.
Reunion Forever by Cori Paulet and Terry Newby Directed by Debbie Schneider As four high school classmates prepare for their class reunion, they find themselves confronted with questions of responsibility, consequences, and self-perception. Reunion Forever explores the interplay between self-awareness and redemption and asks “What price must be paid before forgiveness can be granted?”
Decoration Day 2005 by Roger Barr Directed by James Lundy During the Iraq war, Robert and Marilyn Lewis lose their only son, Robbie, to combat.
