The Hitch-Hiker & Sorry, Wrong Number by Lucille Fletcher

and

Sure Thing & The Philadelphia by David Ives

Light’s Out is a compilation of four 1 Act plays directed by The Actors’ Group Joseph P. Laub, Jr.  Two of the four act shows are done “radio style” meaning the actors tell the story in a radio show format.

The first show is “The Hitch-Hiker” written by Lucille Fletcher. It is a mystery play about Ronald Adams who is travelling from Brooklyn, NY to California to see the country. On his way cross country, he sees a hitch-hiker who seems to invade his very existence. Is he seeing things or does the man prey on his mind. We will find out at the end of the show.

The second show “Sure Thing” us a comedy by David Ives and it involves two people who meet at a cafe, and, through the sounding of a bell, change their stories with hilarious results.

The third show “The Philadelphia” explores the fact the everyone has to be somewhere and involves two friends and a waitress who meet at a cafe and discuss life’s issues through different cities and states. The fact is that everyone is in a Philadelphia whether you like it or not. People who live in Philadelphia will especially enjoy this one act show.

The last show is “Sorry, Wrong Number” which was a radio play and a movie with Agnes Morehead and later Barbara Stanwick.  It is about an elderly, prejudiced woman who overhears plans to kill an elderly woman. Through the phone, she attempts to find out who is the killer. The end of the show really proves who the killer might be and who is the victim.
