It is a virtuoso role for a single male actor who plays a man on his 69th birthday. As he has on every birthday, he records his memories of the past year. When he listens to an tape from thirty years prior, he doesn’t recognize the optimism in his own voice. Steve M. Porter plays Krapp. Cynthia Ettinger directs.</p> <p><em>The Classic</em> runs 2 hours and 15 minutes with a 10-minute intermission.</p> <p>If you are looking for something more modern, <em>The Original</em> might appeal to you. These are three pieces that were part of last year’s <em>Angels, Devils and Other Things</em>, but have continued to be developed. Each of the three pieces was written by members of The Actors’ Gang Ensemble.</p> <figure id="attachment_5003" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5003" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5003" src="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall-300x169.jpg" alt=""Tradition" is one of the plays in "The Original" series of the One Act Festival" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall-300x169.jpg 300w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall-768x432.jpg 768w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall-696x392.jpg 696w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall-747x420.jpg 747w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Guebri-VanOver-Kalli-Holliser-Andrea-Monte-Warren-and-Kalli-Holliser-in-22Tradition22-photo-by-Ashley-Randall.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5003" class="wp-caption-text">Guebri VanOver, Kalli Holiser, Andrea Monte Warren and Kalli Holiser in “Tradition” (Photo by Ashley Randall)</figcaption></figure> <p><em>Tradition</em> was written by <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2018/05/17/devils-details-james-bane/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James Bane</a>. Based on his own experiences as a soldier, it looks at the choices a soldier makes from enlisting in the Marines through to his return to civilian life. What makes this particular piece intriguing is that this version of <em>Tradition</em> features an all-female cast: Quonta Beasley, Kaili Holliser, Guberi VanOver and Andrea Monte Warren.
