It's the time of year for Valentines and boxes of bite-size chocolates, which means short plays and Be Bold! Productions 13th Annual Players Theatre Short Play and Musical Festival LUV!
The festival is focused on love and all its attributes, such as sweet, sassy, sexy, and sincere. Over three weeks in February, fifteen original short plays, chosen by the SPF team, will debut upstairs at The Players Theatre. Each week, five short plays will appear onstage, and a "Best of the Week" production will be selected by audience vote.
Audiences will laugh, sigh, and maybe shed a few tears as they are presented with short plays based on different types of love that include romantic, familial, and friendly.
"We believe love makes the world go round," says Artistic Director Brenda Bell. "We love celebrating love in all its forms each February - and all year round!"
