A Look Back
The 27th annual Summer Shorts played at the Adrienne Arsht Center in June 2024
Dubbed “Miami’s equivalent to Saturday Night Live” by Broadway World, Summer Shorts: Flipping the Script transcended traditional theater by blending the hilarious with the poignant and the provocative with the purely entertaining through an evening of short plays. Celebrating 27 years of storytelling, Summer Shorts is Miami's annual must-see theater experience!
This year's Summer Shorts lineup unveiled eight never-before-seen short plays that embodied the transformative power of theater to challenge our views and expand our perspectives. Crafted by today's best local and national playwrights and starring a cast of South Florida's brightest actors, Summer Shorts: Flipping the Script presented a series of playful and profound stories that revealed unexpected truths.
Lauded as “entertaining,” “achingly funny” and “moment-to-moment hilarious” by Artburst Miami and Florida Theater On Stage, Summer Shorts delivered a true Miami experience where the unexpected became unforgettable.
