Cold Basement Dramatics' Short Play Festival SECRET STASH III Set for 5/9-11

Cold Basement Dramatics' third annual short play festival, Secret Stash III, is a showcase for local theatre artists with eight plays directed by eight Chicago directors and many Chicago actors. The festival takes place at The Frontier Theatre off the Thorndale Redline stop on May 9, 10, and 11. The festival also serves as a fundraiser for Cold Basement Dramatics; funds will support upcoming performances of The Half-Life of Memory by Jason Lindner and directed by Sophie Blumberg, opening June 6 at the DCA Storefront Theatre. The Half-Life of Memory is made possible thanks to an In The Works grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.
