'Pets!' Themed Short Plays Read at Westport on March 18
Sonia Manzano, Bernadette Quigley and Isaiah Sheffer will read short stories at 'Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story,' the live performance version of the renowned public radio show of the same name, on Tuesday, March 18 at 8PM, at Westport Country Playhouse.
"Selected Shorts," produced by Symphony Space in New York City, is co-presented at Westport Country Playhouse by the Westport Arts Center and Westport Country Playhouse, and sponsored by WSHU.
Hosted by Isaiah Sheffer, the evening's program will be ""Pets!," funny and unexpected stories about people, pets and their problems, inspired by the dogs in three writers' lives.
