Palm Beach PlayMakers bring 4th installment of popular BOXer SHORTS series to Delray Beach Playhouse

 
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Oct. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Palm Beach PlayMakers present BOXer SHORTS 4, a showcase of all-new short plays, written by Todd Caster and Lisa Bruna, for three performances only – Saturday, November 1 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 2 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at Delray Beach Playhouse, 950 NW 9th Street in Delray Beach, Florida.

This fourth installment of BOXer SHORTS, the increasingly popular showcase of original one-acts, features six new plays written by Caster and Bruna, and performed by 10 actors from the South Florida theatre community: Michael Beecher, Kari Budyk, Michael DeGrotta, Jennifer Genco, Vicki Goulet, Christina Groom, Marcie Hall, J. Paul Heiner, Mark Hetelson, and John Zambito.

The showcase features an assortment of comedy, drama, farce, and fantasy, with a  collection of quirky characters, unique plot twists, and a new signature Caster-Bruna Flip-Side Play, so named because the two playwrights work in what Bruna calls ‘independent collaboration,’ which means,” she said, “we establish a shared setting, shared action, and shared plot points, then one of us writes one side of the story told from the perspective of one cast of characters, while the other of us writes he flip-side of the story told from the perspective of a second cast of characters. We lob our scripts back and forth to each other, interweaving the two stories, until high drama – with a dash of hijinks – inevitably ensues, and a flip-side play is born.” The story behind how the playwrights share their respective sides of the story has turned out to be a favorite topic for audiences to discuss with actors, directors, and playwrights during the post-show talkbacks.

Why BOXer SHORTS? “We open the event with an assortment of boxes stacked on the stage,” said Caster. “For each play that follows, our skilled stagehands fashion this collection into workable sets. The construction of these creations are events in themselves, leaving the audience speculating at their mad designs. The riddle is quickly solved as the actors take the stage and utilize the sets. A Bowling Alley? Sure. A Sidewalk Café? No problem. A Park? A Supermarket? An Elevator? We got it covered. We produce short plays and we use boxes. Hence, the handle – BOXer SHORTS.”

Theatregoers can purchase tickets ($15 in advance, $18 at the door) to BOXer SHORTS 4 by calling the Delray Beach Playhouse Box Office at 561.272-1281 ext. 4. Ticket price includes talk-backs, which are held immediately after each performance. The producers recommend advance purchase of tickets as BOXer SHORTS 1, 2, and 3 were sold-out performances.
