Confetti Stage is celebrating 20 years of Confetti Fest, the Capital Region’s longest running festival of locally written one acts!
Our 20th annual festival features:
“Unlocking the Past” by Kayleen Hayden, directed by Caleigh Hogan
As stipulated in their grandmother’s will, estranged siblings Carl and Susan must meet with Grandma’s lawyer together in order to receive their inheritance. The forced confrontation brings up past hurts, shared memories, and a future neither of them had anticipated. Turns out that old keys can open more than the doors to Grandma’s old house.
“Can’t Play Dead” by Stephen Henel, directed by Marissa Lounello
This show takes place in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. The zombies have won. More frightening than that: they know they’ve won. Join zombie pundit Guptill Franklinson and their panel of experts, including Reverend J.D. Hogswater; Social Media Influencer/Secretary of Education Libby Cornetto; Fairfax University Professor of Human Studies, Dr. Elias Framingham; and Glen Jenkins, a human, as they answer the biggest hot button issue of the day, “Human Beings: Harmless Curiosity or Existential Threat?”
“Game of Moans” by Laura Darling, directed by Tobias Martin
After a strange turn of events, a couple retreats to a sleazy motel to watch something very special. Along the way, friendships, trust, and the location of batteries are questioned.

“God Walks Into A Bar” by Kenneth Hauser, directed by Marissa Lounello and PJ Gonzalez
God, if you choose to believe it is God and not a delusional bum named Desmond, comes by earth for the first time in 30,000 years and has a conversation with Jon and Molly, two denizens of a neighborhood bar. The play is a comedy but tackles the subject of bigotry within religion.

What comes after graduation? Many College Experience students, in fact most, choose to remain in Albany. They maintain friendships with their fellow and former graduates, form romantic partnerships, and some get married.
