Audiences have opportunities year-round

to enjoy free readings of original works  submitted to us for consideration

as a Summer Short.

 

Regional actors perform at various locations,

particularly at well-regarded Books & Books,

the Olympia Theater's Word Series,

and CityWrights readings.

 

These informal, entertaining gatherings

give audiences a chance to give feedback,

and contribute to our selection process,

while allowing a work to come off the page

with the use of actors and audience members,

the two most basic ingredients necessary

for producing a play.

 

A number of the plays produced at

SUMMER SHORTS 

are discovered at CITY READS.
