Summer Shorts returns for another summer of new American one-acts featuring original plays by the country’s top playwrights. Representing some of today’s best writing, directing and acting talents, Summer Shorts celebrates theater, summer and the short form. The festival’s two separate series offer a diverse range of voices, styles, and subject matter. Summer Shorts 2012 offers six premiere one-act plays, in two separate evenings. The two series will run in rotating repertory. The New York Times called Summer Shorts "a very smart and satisfying evening of theater."
