New Play Mini-Festival 

Conceived & Produced by Marilyn Cavicchia

Augustana Lutheran Church, 5500 S. Woodlawn Avenue

We’re trying something new! 

For the first time ever, Hyde Park Community Players has gathered some ultra-new, ultra-short plays into a New Works Mini-Festival, all written, directed,and performed by your Hyde Park friends and neighbors — and never seen before now. Retirees who meet on a cruise and conduct detailed background checks on each other … while checking each other out. “Swifties” from a dystopian near future who find a novel use for their personal time machines. Down-on-their-luck shoemakers who rediscover their “zazz” thanks to some elfin magic. Those are just a few of the characters you’ll meet. We’re also excited that this Mini-Festival draws on the talents of some longtime Players, some who joined us only recently, and others we’ve never met before! Come join us and kick off the new year with some bold new plays!

The plays will be followed by refreshments and a chance to talk with the playwrights, directors and actors. $5 at the door.
