Footlights Dedicated to Illuminating Theater and Connecting to Audiences
Little Fish Theatre presents Pick of the Vine opening on January 13, 2007, as the first production of its 2017 season.
Pick of the Vine is a collection of original short-subject plays. This year’s selections take a look at life from beginning to end and provide insight about what happens outside of the public eye: What happens when your adult son still believes in Santa? How does a young wife cope with a baby who won’t stop crying? Will a nervous fiancee tell the truth when he’s given the third degree during a pre-marriage counseling session?
The selection committee combed through more than 710 plays submitted from around the world. The final nine plays were chosen for their ability to entertain, engage, and excite audiences.
Pick of the Vine schedule:
January 13th through February 11th
Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm
January 21st, 28th and February 4th
Thursday nights at 8pm on
