“Beautiful Deceivers,” a one-act play by Dr. Michael L. Counts will be produced at the The Riant Theatre’s Strawberry One-Act Play Festival in New York City. The play will be performed Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 11-12, at 3 p.m. It will be taped and shown online on Sunday, Feb. 12, at www.TheRiantTheatre.com.

The Strawberry One-Act Festival, in its 11th season this winter, 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, of which 50 are chosen to compete. Plays move from the first round to the semi-finals and then the finals. The playwright of the winning play receives a grant and the opportunity to have a full-length play developed by the Riant.
