On Theater:

Each season, the Repertory Theater at OCC closes out the season with its One-Act Play Festival, a series of playlets both from well-known authors and OCC playwrights. And, as usual, this year’s octet runs the creative gamut.

Order “A” consists of four diverse plays — “Johnny & Wilma,” “Ledge, Ledger and the Legend,” “The Prisoner” and “Naomi in the Living Room.” Order “B” offers “Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen,” “On an Overcast Day,” “Imperfections” and “Sure Thing.”

The best of the first lot is “Johnny & Wilma,” one of the four playlets which comprise Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna’s 1960s-vintage stage comedy “Lovers and Other Strangers.” It’s a battle of the sexes with the bed as the battleground as Brandon Crisler and Chesley Rae Holland skillfully conduct their boudoir warfare under the crisp direction of Jamie R. Smith.

The setting for Paul Elliott’s “Ledge, Ledger and the Legend” is, aptly enough, a ledge — this one several stories up where a young woman (Angelica Sinajon) is prepared (well, sort of) to leap to her death. Interventionist Aaron Drake arrives to offer tips on the perfect dive, while a rival (Shawn Greenfield) drops in to provide further conflict.

Director Nicholas Crumpton’s staging is entertaining in fits and starts, though somewhat circuitous and repetitive.

Writer-director Joon Hur’s “The Prisoner” is a Nazi military officer (Morgan Weiss) being grilled after the war by a pair of Poles (Elliot Glasser and Mylene Delaire) who differ on interrogation methods. It’s strong stuff with fine performances on all counts, particularly from the seething, revenge-bent character played by Glasser.

The evening’s closer in Order “A” is “Naomi in the Living Room,” one of those wacky Christopher Durang playlets from his earlier, more experimental period. It’s a classic exercise in outlandish, over-the-top comedy for an envelope-pushing actress, in this case Liliana Frandsen, as a psychotic harridan terrorizing her cross-dressing son (Paul Bouyear) and his mousy wife (Tiffany Kaufmann).
