A Little Zetz, a play written by UFT Players Executive Board member, Ilene Bauer, is included in this year's Strawberry One-Act Festival at the Hudson Guild Theatre. The play was originally performed at last year's Original One Act Play Festival by the UFT Players and the new production includes several cast members from the original version.


Saturday, March 2, 2013 @ 5 PM
The Hudson Guild Theatre
441 W 26th Street (between 9th & 10th Avenues)

Seating is limited and reservations are suggested.



The Strawberry One-Act Festival, celebrating its 23rd season, is the brainchild of Van Dirk Fisher, Artistic Director of The Riant Theatre. It is a play "competition" in which the audience and the theatre's judges cast their votes to select the best play of the season.  Twice a year, hundreds of plays from across the country are submitted for the competition.  Plays move from the first round to the semi-finals and then the finals. The playwright of the winning play receives $1,500.00 and the opportunity to have a full-length play developed by the Riant.
