Appetite Theatre and Act One Studios will present their fourth annual festival of new, short plays. BRUSCHETTA 2007 provides a unique opportunity for Act One students to act in professionally written and directed short plays in conjunction with Appetite Theatre Company Members. This year’s scripts were chosen from over 460 submissions from all over the country for their edgy subject matter and their ability to make us laugh out loud. The 2007 production challenges ideas on religion, public education, political campaigns, intimacy, and celebrity through dark comedy and a little snack.
