The Players Theatre Short Play and Music Festival 13th annual BOO fest is set for next month. The fright-themed festival is a favorite among theatregoers hankering for a scare. Over three weeks in October, the work of fifteen playwrights’ original short plays, chosen by the SPF team, are presented. Each week, five short plays will appear onstage, and a “Best of the Week” production will be selected by audience vote.
