The third and final weekend of Be Bold! Production’s 15th annual NYC Short Play Festival ran last weekend at The Players Theatre in the West Village, with five original NYC-themed short plays. Last weekend’s audience-selected winner was ‘Stacks’, written and directed by by Andrea Cárdenas.
In ‘Stacks’, Lizzy (Anita Castillo-Halvorssen) and Dawn (Sarah Cuneo), two librarians at the Ottendorfer Public Library in Manhattan, aren’t getting along very well. Dawn keeps passive-aggressively calling Lizzy ‘Richard,’ pretending she is talking to a former coworker even though Dawn has been working with Lizzy for three months, which in turn upsets Lizzy. As the two prepare for some special guests arriving for a tour, they must see if they can put their differences aside for the good of the library.
‘Stacks’ appeared among four other NYC-themed one-acts.
