An Evening of One Acts 2026 at Ridgefield Theater Barn

An Evening of One Acts is an annual production by the RTB, showcasing original, unpublished works selected by the One Acts Committee from more than 250 submitted plays. Produced by Paulette Layton and stage managed by Tina Morrissette, each play is directed individually and rehearsed separately before the entire production comes together in the final week of rehearsals. Since its inception in 2010, An Evening of One Acts has grown into one of our most beloved events, cherished by both audiences and participants alike.
