Short Cuts 4 at the Lake Worth Playhouse

By
-

The Lake Worth Playhouse will celebrate local playwrights on May 7 with “Short Cuts 4.” Produced by The Playgroup, LLC, the fourth season of this short play series will includes nine original plays by local wrights, all running ten minutes or less. A mix of comedy and drama, themes explore romance and art, crime, the distinction between good and evil, and more, while performed on a minimally set stage, which is arranged by the actors before each play, in full view of the audience—often times creating a play within a play. Fifteen actors will perform the parts, with five directors guiding the performances.

  • Admission to Short Cuts 4 cost $20 (all seats). 
  • For more information or to purchase tickets, call 561-586-6410 or visit lakeworthplayhouse.org.
