Putnam County Community Theatre will return to the stage with its rendition of “A Night of One Acts”, three fast-paced, short comedies.

The production opens at 7 p.m. Friday to Saturday, Aug. 22-23 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug.24, at Putnam County Community High School.

According to a news release, the production will feature one-act plays include “The Revenge of Gertrude” by Laura Neill, a zany twist on the ending of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”; “Shakespeare in Shorts” by David Overton, a delightfully irreverent dive into the world of William Shakespeare, guided by a chorus of witty narrators and “Make ‘Em Laugh” by Jason Odell Williams, in which a budding writer gets trapped in an alternate sitcom universe..

All tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the door or reserved in advance by calling 815-310-0320 or e-mailing pccommunitytheatre@gmail.com.
