Make 'Em Laugh / Comedy Tonight!
July 8 & 9, 15 & 16, 17, 2022
Thank you for joining us for an evening of three one-act comedies!
In "Who's Afraid," the Wolf appears on a TV talk show to tell his side of the story.
In "Nik of T.I.M.E," a time agent travels back from the future to right a mistake.
And in "The Pitch," two wannabe screen writers get the chance to pitch their movie idea to a big Hollywood producer.
These three one-acts have previously been performed as part of the Pittsburgh New Work Festival and are now receiving their Beaver County premiere.
"Who's Afraid" and "Nik of T.I.M.E." written by Jeff DeSantis (Baden)
