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:
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.
Whether you are a seasoned theatre regular or looking to try something totally new, this festival is designed for everyone to enjoy.
Grab a friend, support local arts, and come see how much dynamic storytelling can be packed into just 10 minutes!
Summer Shorts is curated by Dorothy Lyman and produced by Keli Solomon.
