Opening Thursday, August 13, at 8pm, “Summer Shorts" A Festival of Ten-Minute Plays”
Looking for the perfect summer theatre experience? If you love great storytelling but have a short attention span, TheatreWorks New Milford has the absolute perfect event for you: Summer Shorts!
Instead of sitting through one long, two-hour play, Summer Shorts is a fast-paced, high-energy festival featuring a series of 10-minute plays. It’s essentially the theatrical equivalent of a gourmet tasting menu—you get a little bit of everything! Here is why you won’t want to miss it:
It’s A Total Rollercoaster: Because the plays change every 10 minutes, you’ll jump from a hilarious comedy to a gripping drama, to a quirky romance, all in one evening. If a story isn't your vibe, just wait a few minutes for a completely new one!
Fresh & Local Talent: The festival showcases a curated selection of brand-new, original works by fantastic regional playwrights, brought to life by an incredible lineup of local directors and actors.
The Ultimate Casual Night Out: It’s light, fun, completely unpredictable, and the ultimate way to celebrate a summer weekend in the neighborhood.
