MITF: Year Sweet 16 continues with another installment of John Chatterton's SHORT PLAY LAB on Saturday, April 25 & Sunday, April 26, 2015. Join us for another New Works Weekend at Roy Arias Theaters, 300 W. 43rd Street, Fourth Floor, NYC.

The SPL is a series of short works that shine a light on topical and current issues as well as a few taboos and touchy subjects. The Short Play Lab is two programs of 10-minute plays - some are preambles to larger works while others are Serling-esque parables subject for our approval.

Look for glimpses into love and the church in the 21st century; what's past the dark in the darkness of the soul; and some powerful images of Romeo & Juliet, Beauty & The Beast... and Trayvon Martin.
