Bayport-Blue Point High School Drama Club Presents 18th Annual One Act Play Festival

BAYPORT, NY — The Bayport-Blue Point High School Drama Club drew a lively audience on Nov. 21 and 22 as students presented the school’s 18th annual One Act Play Festival, featuring six short productions that brought a wide range of stories and styles to the stage.

This year’s festival included “After Hours” by Kevin Stone, an ensemble-centered piece performed in a traditional play format; “Keystone Knights” by Lindsay Price, a lighthearted comedy suited for all ages; and “Whatever I Want” by Mark Harvey Levine, a moving story that explores loss and survivor’s guilt. Students also performed “In the Jar” by Ian McWethy, a humorous look at a group of bugs stuck together; “The Chocolate Affair” by Stephanie Alison Walker, which offers an insightful take on addiction; and “Wendy’s Tale” by Alan Haehnel, the festival’s major ensemble work in which the full cast remained onstage for the entire 40-minute performance.

The event honored three graduating seniors for their contributions to the program and highlighted a strong group of underclassmen who will return to the spotlight this spring in the school’s upcoming musical, Guys and Dolls.
