The “One Act Laugh Tracks” festival at Ojai ACT is celebrating local writers who not only created the plays but helped choose the cast and directors and some even honed their scripts during rehearsals.
There are six unique vignettes ranging from 7 to 30 minutes long, running through Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays in the Ojai Art Center’s air- and comedy-conditioned theater.
“This series honors the writers among us who are often invisible, unsung and underpaid, but unfettered and unafraid to find humor wherever it occurs,” said Producer John Hankins, who chose the six plays based on only one criteria: “They made me laugh out loud.”
The plays opened on Sept. 9 and run through Oct. 2 at Ojai ACT, 113 S. Montgomery St. at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets to the festival are $15 general and $12 for seniors, students and Art Center members; call 640-8797 or visit:
