About our 2005 Spotlight On Halloween Festival Production:

A WITCH, SOME MUSIC AND A MYSTIC T.V.
at Spotlight On! -- Evening of One Acts
 

  • Shake Your Do Do Crack by Marjorie Edwards/ Director Karen Wilson-Mack. One witch's struggle to break away from an eternal life cult in exchange for the mortal life of love, marriage and family. Will a festive night reveal her truth?
  • Broadway Baby by Carol Hollenbeck. Everybody has a dream and a young girl comes to New York City from a small town to search for her dream to work in the theatre. The surprise comes into focus when we discover what her real dream is.
  • Mystic TV by Mary Beth Shanahan/ Directed by Geeta Citygirl. Paradise is not lost. Find it on MYSTIC. T.V....where wisdom, understanding, knowledge and fear of the Lord are. Tune into God. Tune into you. Carla Carmalot and Doug Forthright host a T.V. show designed to foster religious acceptance and awareness. Their guests are more about ego and agenda than religion. Tolerance is a big word in a small world, or a small word in a big world.

    ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT:
    MARY ELIZABETH SHANAHAN (Playwright/Co-producer): Writer (plays, screenplays, poetry, short stories and prose), painter, actor and wanderer. Life is a theatre of awareness, and I am often blinded by my own lack of vision!  We are the constant stage, yet the stage constantly changes--us.  Human nature is comprised of infinite perfection and deformity.  It is surpassed only by itself in magnificence and cannot be bound by conventionality.  The ideal landscape does not exist. As a playwright, I strive to make free inquiries into the conditions of human character.  Stories surface from there.  The meaningless is just as meaningful as the meaningful.

    ABOUT THE FESTIVAL PRODUCTION COMPANY:
