"I try not to predict what they'll come up with next," Shafer said. "I love when they knock me out of my chair with new ideas." The One-Act Festival has been held semi-annu ally for five years and has featured student-written plays since its second year. Several student written plays at the One Act Festival have gone on to win awards and honors at national competitions. Talya Adams, a student at UCF, wrote the play Growing Pains, which was directed by Penny Jack son, for the One-Act Festi val. The play exposed the horrors that can occur in abusive relationships. "I have never been there, but I know a lot of people who have," Adams said. "I wanted to expose an epidemic that has affected a lot - an epi demic of staying in dys functional, abusive rela tionships." Saviors was written by UCF theatre majors Chris Metz and Kyle Adkins. "Some of it was semi autobiographical, while others came- from my invention," Metz said. "It's the course to define reali , ty and what it means to find your own savior." Last year, Metz was ,, sent to Waterloo in a the ater-writer swap program to present a reading of another play he had writ ten. Attendees at the festi val responded well to the student-written plays. "The student-written ones are really mar velous," said Troy Brooks, a freshman theatre major. .. "I have friends in [the One-Act :Festival], and that just makes it even more entertaining."
