Acts to Grind III
ABOUT Acts to Grind III
A collection of new original works (with the exception of two scenes from past seasons):
"Revelations," a Convent of Discovery – Sister Jen, wrestling with her vocational decision, gets help from Sister Dawn and Sister Josephine, who share some compelling secrets of their own.
"A New Election" - Four Intermezzo scenes – What qualifies someone to be a good candidate for congress? And … how does the American public react to a candidate with a new perspective?
From "To Love or Not To Love" the frank scene "Music is Better than Sex" – Diva, Cynthia, conveys that there are things in life that are important to some and not as important to others.
“Chill the Hell Out” - How do you relax when you have people yelling and chasing each other around instead of confronting the problem at hand?
And finally, a short by Wendy Prosise: “A Small Mall, After All” is a farce exploring the negative side of always being "connected."
