Helltown Players Presents MORE LITTLE DEVILS – An Evening of Short Plays by Cape Cod Playwrights

After the overwhelming success of last year's Little Devils, Helltown Players proudly returns with More Little Devils—an evening of six original short plays written by playwrights with meaningful connections to Cape Cod.

This compelling production will tour across three prominent Cape Cod venues: Cape Rep Theatre (Brewster), The Academy of Performing Arts (Orleans), and The Pilgrim House Provincetown (Provincetown).

"Last year's inaugural production of Little Devils was so successful, we decided to bring it back," says Jim Dalglish, Producing Artistic Director of Helltown Players. "We had more than 40 short play submissions from playwrights with meaningful connections to Cape Cod. The quality of the writing was so high that it was incredibly difficult to choose the six plays that made the final cut. These are terrific plays that make for a very satisfying night of theatre."

This production is made possible through partnerships with Cape Rep Theatre, The Academy of Performing Arts, and The Pilgrim House Provincetown, as well as the generous support of the Joan Patchen Art and Activism Fund.

"Helltown Players does not have a performance venue, so we rely on Cape Cod theatres who support our mission to bring plays written by Cape Cod playwrights to life," Dalglish continues. "We are also thrilled to have cast a veritable who's who of the Cape's most successful actors and have brought on a few of the Cape's most sought-after directors. Two of our directors—Bill Jacobs and Florence Heller—bring extensive experience from the world of film to inform their approach to directing three of the plays."
