City of Greensboro issued the following announcement on Mar. 10.

Creative Greensboro presents “Evening of Short Plays No. 40” at 7 pm March 31, April 1, and April 2, and at 2 pm on April 3 in the Stephen D. Hyers Theatre at the Greensboro Cultural Center, 200 N.

“Evening of Short Plays No. 40” will present eight new short plays, each written by a member of the Greensboro Playwrights Forum. The program, now in its 26th year, provides playwrights the opportunity to see their work go from page to stage.

This year’s lineup features:

• “The Last Chance Masquerade” by Mike Brannon and directed by Susan Proctor
• “Talismans” by Debra Kaufman and directed by Shelley Segal
• “Someday” by Louis Panzer and directed by Carl Grasso

Founded in 1993, Creative Greensboro's Playwrights’ Forum supports local aspiring playwrights in getting published or produced through contacts, marketing, and improving their skill as dramatic writers.

“I work full-time as a computer programmer. ‘Evening of Short Plays’ is my chance to express myself artistically, and give something back to the community,” said Mike Brannon, playwright, director, and member of Greensboro’s Playwrights Forum. “Creative Greensboro and the Greensboro Playwrights Forum gave me the opportunity to get back into the theater after a 30-year hiatus. For someone with a family, a full-time job, and a lot of outside interests, you can take as much out of it as you can put in.”
