As they begin their 22nd season of residency at THEATREWORKS at the Square, Emerald Theare Company is pleased to announce its third annual 10-minute Play Fest! This collaborative celebration of blackbox theatre will feature nine premier performances of original “Gaydar”-themed vignettes, written by clever playwrights across the U.S., whose take on this topic runs the gamut from the poignant to the comedic, to the surreal. Directed and performed by a wide array of local artists, this fast-paced show is a fresh and interesting evening of entertainment.

“Gaydar” will be offered one weekend only, September 7-9, at Theatreworks at the Square, 2085 Monroe Ave, Memphis, TN 38104.

Showtimes are 8:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Tickets available at the door. All seats $15.00. www.etcmemphistheater.com
