Central Square students present 2 shows in one-act play festival

The Paul V. Moore Drama Club in Central Square is presenting its Third Annual Student Directed One-Act Play Festival this weekend.
Abbie Sundet, a senior, is directing “Shuffling,” by Ken Preuss. The show is a deep dive into the playlist on Lacey’s phone as she waits for her boyfriend to pick her up from work… who is late… again!
As she scrolls through her songs, the playlist “comes alive” and gives her life and love advice and features snippets of songs from divas like Celine Dion to earworms like “It’s Raining Tacos.” A lot of love, a little bit of loss, and a whole lot of toe-tapping is the order of the day in “Shuffling.”
The second one-act play of the night, “All Chime In,” by James Gustafson, is directed by Grace Myers, also a senior at Paul V. Moore.
The show is the story of Rob and Jen, a young couple in love. Rob is ready to pop the question, however the restaurant where he intends to make it official has patrons that can’t help but “chime in” about how lovely – or rotten – love is.
A divorcee, a lawyer, an ex-girlfriend, and cops and robbers can’t help but share their experiences with the couple. Will wedding bells be on the menu? Come find out.
The cast list for “Shuffling” includes Amelia Gil, Landon Stevens, Andrew Landes, Grace Myers, Nilah Facey-Bradford, Danielle Ciccone, Lucian Comfort, Nox Hillman, Colton McMahon, Abbie Sundet, Noxx Schwartz, Kristiana Jeroloman, Emily Tiff, Hannah Foster, Elise Williams, Ava Epstein, Reese Porter, Charlie Butchko and David Leone.
