Three Wise Moose, in partnership with Anchorage Community Theatre, return with a new edition of Fourplay: Four Short Plays by Alaskans. Producer Schatzie Schaefers puts a new twist on the popular event, this time featuring plays written by Schaefers, Dawson Moore, Steven Hunt, and Arlitia Jones. The cast features some of Anchorage's best talent including Mark Robokoff, Anthony Lounsbury, Missy Williams, Kevin Bennett, and Frank Delaney. Directed by Schatzie Schaefers and Carrie Yanagawa. Run time about 1 hour.

 

The plays, ranging from heartbreaking to outrageously funny, are edgier than ACT's regular season shows and suggested for mature audiences only. They will be presented from October 15 - 24 on Friday and Saturday evenings at 10 PM (after Witness for the Prosecution) and on Sunday evenings at 7 PM. Admission is only $10, with tickets available online or by calling 868-4913. Season tickets are not applicable to these late night shows.
