Be transported through the magic of fiction—one short story at a time!
Back by popular demand, Selected Shorts returns to the Montalvo Arts Center to celebrate the power of togetherness with classic and contemporary short fiction featuring characters that push one another to unexpected conclusions! Actors from stage and screen present stories that emphasize what happens in moments of great cooperation, competing desires, and unexpected encounters. Grab your partner, best friend, or your arch-nemesis and find out why two heads are better than one! With actors Kirsten Vangsness (Malcom in the Middle), Richa Moorjani (Fargo), and Justin Kirk (You're The Worst)!
Selected Shorts is a live theatrical experience featuring a selection of talented actors from stage, screen, and television—reading short stories around a specific theme. These stories are mostly fiction, sometimes classic, sometimes new…sometimes hilarious, romantic, explosive, or whimsical…always memorable and moving.
Selected Shorts began in 1985 and has enjoyed sold-out performances across the country. Produced by Symphony Space in New York City, these stories are often featured on the hit public radio show and podcast of the same name, which reaches hundreds of thousands of listeners on over 130 stations and streaming services each week.
