Key City Public Theatre To Present New Works This Memorial Day

Key City Public Theatrew will support new work and local artists this month with Sips & Scripts, PlayCraft Originals, and Improv-a-ganza.

If you have never experienced what it is to sit and watch new works of theatre development or be a part of a Q&A development session after a presentation, this is the kind of event for you! For so many, they have no idea how a piece of theatre is developed and crafted over time, so come check out the process behind the curtain and watch these gems go from these early developments to fully staged productions potentially on the Key City stage.

Sips & Scripts and PlayCraft Originals will have multiple presentation days from May 23 - 26 and Improv-a-ganza will play for ONE NIGHT ONLY on June 6 at 7:30pm. Improv-a-ganza will be pay what you can and is not appropriate for children, so plan an adult date night and come out! To see the rest of the new works of theatre being presented see below:
