The Alliance Theatre Lab presents its first annual ten-minute play festival Home Sweet Funeral Home written by and starring South Florida talent. Written by Andie Arthur, Mark Della Ventura, Christopher Demos-Brown, Tony Finstrom, Alexandria Iona, Marjorie O’Neill-Butler, Mariah Reed and David Michael Sirois. “The inspiration for this project came from A. R. Gurney’s ‘The Dining Room’ mixed with a little 48-Hour Film Festival. Eight ten-minute plays all sharing the same set, which is a funeral home. On top of that, each playwright was given a line of dialogue and prop, both of which must be incorporated into the play,” says Della 
Ventura. Directed by Mark Della Ventura and David Michael Sirois, and starring: Anne Chamberlain, Mark Della Ventura, Rayner Garranchan, Alexandria Iona, David Sirois, Natasha Waisfeld and Breeza Zeller, along with Barry University students, Jovon Jacobs and Stephanie Meskauskas.
