City Theatre and Island City Stage Collaborate on SHORTS GONE WILD 6
City Theatre and Island City Stage are proud to present Shorts Gone Wild 6 from August 2 - 26, 2018 at Island City Stage in Wilton Manors. This all-new production marks the sixth season of South Florida's hottest LGBT+ themed short play festival.
