All things theatrical

5 one-acts for the price of none

June
9

In a couple of weeks — at 2 p.m. on June 28 and 29 — theatergoers, or should I say “librarygoers,” will be able to take in the Westchester premier of five one-act plays by local playwrights Robert Zaslow of Mahopac, Keith Whalen of Peekskill and Mark Jacobs of Garrison.

The event, at the Ossining Library at 53 Croton Ave., is free of charge and includes the following shows, according to a release I received this afternoon:

“A Woman Scorned” by Robert Zaslow: A one-way flight of fancy about a romance that goes south when a not-so-young man decides to go west. Featuring Robert Zaslow and Jessica Chazen.

“Cliché” by Keith Whalen: A man on the edge, in danger of losing his job, sits down on a park bench and pours his heart out to a stranger, only to become exasperated with her odd way of speaking. Featuring Scott Faubel, Betty Slack, and Kevin Kanin.

“The Staining of the Shrewd” by Mark Jacobs: Kids can dress like adults, talk like adults and even act like adults, but Danny and Iris will make you laugh out loud as they show that kids don’t quite think like adults. Featuring Nadia Alexander and Asher Muldoon.

“No Freud Please” by Mark Jacobs: The first time a man says “I love you” is typically a moment of high romance. In “No Freud, Please” these simple words lead Kate and Ross to confront life, love and neurosis. Featuring Sarah Hunt and Patrick Reese.

“Cinnamon Apple Pie” by Robert Zaslow: A ‘70’s coming-of-age comedy about a wise-ass bar mitzvah boy, a black porter and a mystery woman on a train where the one-liners start in Plattsburgh and end in Poughkeepsie. Featuring David Thompson, Mike King, Heather Hanneman, and Bob Zaslow.

Some material in the shows may not be appropriate for young children.

For tickets, call 914-739-3402.
