Prairie Players Civic Theatre will present a A Night of One Acts, an evening of short plays, on Saturday, Sept. 19 and is seeking actors to fill the roles.

A Night of One Acts is designed to be an accessible entry point for those curious about theatre, while also providing a welcoming path back for veteran participants. With a shorter rehearsal process and simplified production elements, this format allows for creativity without a large time commitment.

The two shows being staged this year are Wishing Well, written and directed by Charlie Vestal, and The Monkey’s Paw, based on the classic short story by W. W. Jacobs and directed by Adam Chasteen.

Vestal is looking for actors who can play 30 years or younger, and Chasteen is looking for actors to play 20 years and older. Both directors ask that those auditioning be at least 18 years old.

Auditions for actors will be held Sunday, Aug. 16, at 2 p.m. and Monday, Aug. 17, at 6 p.m. at 160 South Seminary St. in Galesburg. This will be followed by a four‑week rehearsal period leading up to the performance.

A Night of One Acts is sponsored by NextUp Transition Curriculum and the Illinois Arts Council. For more information, go to prairieplayers.com.
