Our signature one-act theatre festival returned for its twelfth year with another selection of entertaining short plays. We scheduled it in conjunction with the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival, so you could come downtown and catch both. It ran June 4-11, 2016.
All performances were FREE to the public!
