The Hippodrome State Theatre will present a unique theatrical experience on Monday, July 27 with an evening of one-act plays.  Three productions, each running approximately 20 minutes, will be staged throughout the first floor of the Hippodrome.  Audiences will participate in a form of environmental theater, rotating from the Hippodrome cinema to the bar and East Gallery for each of the three performances.

Written by Nell Page Sexton and Doug Grissom  Directed by Mark Sexton  When you’re really far gone – when you’re completely desperate – you’ll do anything for love.  In Coquina one woman tries to save her marriage by inventing a fictitious character, the simple and playful Coquina – a character who haunts her long after her love has died.
	Written by Patrick Cribben  Directed by Sara Morsey  Crime and paranoia are a volatile mixture.  In Rain, two men duck out of a storm and into a terse conflict – a rapid fire conversation that could make an ugly situation even worse.
