Creative Greensboro will present its annual production of “Short Tales for Children” at 2 pm on February 3 and 4 in the Van Dyke Performance Space at the Greensboro Cultural Center, 200 N. Davie St. Admission is free with a suggested donation of $5.

This year’s production features four short original plays written by members of the Greensboro Playwrights Forum and directed by UNCG School of Theater Education students under the mentorship of Creative Greensboro’s Performing Arts Coordinator Todd Fisher and UNCG professor Joshua Purvis.

“‘Short Tales’ focuses on giving students real-world experience in learning the craft of theater in a low-pressure, supported, and fun environment. All children ages 7-12 who auditioned were cast and for many this is will be their first opportunity to participate in theater,” said Todd Fisher.

The “Short Tales for Children” program features these plays from Greensboro Playwrights Forum Members:

• “Prince Troglobite’s Adventure”by Judy M. Dove
• “Toxic Mushrooms” by Clinton Festa
• “Buddy Bench” by Clinton and Evelyn Festa
• “The Boxwood Castle of Love and Friendship” By Gwendolyn T. Poole
