 We know that we are lucky to have the ingenuity and high levels of quality of art that Theatre Winter Haven brings to our community. With the introduction of their newest event , they are aiming to secure the future of great theater in Central Florida. The Horizon New Directors Series is a three day festival to be held on Friday, November 11 through Sunday, November 13. During the festival three directors will showcase a short work. The audience can vote for their favorite. The director of the piece awarded the most votes will be named ‘Patrons Pick’ and receive a $500 cash prize. In addition, Theatre Winter Haven will be showcasing their entry for upcoming theater festivals and they have invited Eric Gutman (one of Broadway’s Jersey Boys) to anchor the festival and perform his show, From Broadway to Obscurity, on Sunday November 13.
