About

A cherished childhood toy, an unexpected letter, a long-lost friend: when we lose the things we hold dear, the ache can be profound. Yet, within the heartache lies a glimmer of hope. The notion that these beloved pieces of our past might find their way back to us, transformed but still familiar, anchors us through life's chaos. Join us for a delightful and poignant evening of storytelling, as actors of stage and screen breathe life into tales of nostalgia, mischief, missed connections, and the whimsical journey of a nepo baby navigating a world that feels a bit like a scavenger hunt.

Our greatest actors transport us through the magic of fiction, one short story at a time. Sometimes funny. Always moving. Selected Shorts connects you to the world with a rich diversity of voices from literature, film, theater, and comedy.

Hosted by current Selected Shorts radio show host Meg Wolitzer (The InterestingsThe Wife).
