Dear Patrons,

In light of the news surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and after careful consideration, The Lake Worth Playhouse has decided to suspend all of our upcoming live events and films for the foreseeable future. The L-Dub Film Festival has bee postponed and we will be announcing new dates soon.

The Lake Worth Playhouse is a 501(c)3 non-profit arts organization. We depend on every ticket sold to break even. Please consider *donating your tickets* back to the Playhouse rather than requesting a refund. Wide scale refunds like what this virus could prompt can be massively disruptive for our organization and threaten the sustainability of the Playhouse. If a donation isn’t financially feasible for you, consider asking for an exchange or a credit towards future shows instead of a refund.

The safety of our patrons, artists, designers, technicians and staff is our top priority.

Thank you for your patronage and support of the Lake Worth Playhouse. We will update you as to the status of our operations in the coming weeks as this situation unfolds. Please be safe and take care of yourselves and your loved ones. We will get through this together as a community. Thank you in advance for your understanding and support!

The L-DUB Film Festival is looking for an innovative selection of work across a variety of genres from music videos, shorts and documentaries to full length features.

Our mission is to celebrate the art of filmmaking, introduce audiences to new works and artists, provide industry collaboration opportunities for emerging filmmakers and gain recognition from their peers, the public and industry professionals.

We encourage submissions from S. Florida filmmakers and artists from around the globe. All age levels and experience are encouraged. We have had winning entries from 8 yr old filmmakers doing their 1st animation and entries that have gone on to be short listed for the Oscars and screened in showcases at Cannes. L-DUB is a festival for the eye and the mind. No genre is overlooked. We pride our festival as a venue for new filmmakers.

This year’s festival coincides with Lake Worth’s long running and well attended Pride Festival and we would like to join the celebration with our brothers and sisters and hope to obtain a significant number of LGBTQ themed works.
