by Molly Hagan - October 13, 2010
Acorn Productions continues the 2010/11 Studio Series of Friday Night Dramatic Readings in the Acorn Studio Theater with an evening featuring 2 one-act plays by Howard Rosenfield. Both plays are metaphorical in nature with strong influences from existential philosophy, absurdist drama, and the comedy of Laurel and Hardy. 'A Comet's Tale' begins when a failed suicide attempt lands Harry in Limbo, where events lead him to re-think his life-- and his choice. Both plays were developed by Rosenfield during sessions of 'Playwrights Lab,' a regular class taught by Acorn's Producing Director Michael Levine at the Acorn Acting Academy. As a result of script development done during the class, 'Lifting Rocks' was one of three one acts recently chosen for full production in January of 2011 at the Firehouse Theater Center in Newburyport, MA. focuses on how a summer job at a rock quarry changes a young man's view of work-- and of himself.
