Short Attention Span Theatre, opening at the Garfield Center for the Arts on June 20, offers an evening of 10-minute plays designed to hold your attention for Just. Long. Enough. Continuing the tradition of eclectic variety SAST has become known for, this year’s selections run the gamut from thought-provoking to absurd, covering topics from love and absent-mindedness to God and the DMV, hypnotism and a case of the interstellar sniffles. Produced by Short Attention Span Theatre regulars Diane Landskroener and Mark Sullivan, the plays feature a multitude of actors, directors and authors, as well as the world premiere of original works by local playwrights Earl Lewin, Howard Mesick, Susan Middaugh, Mark Sullivan, and Keith Thompson.
The curtain goes up at the Garfield Center at 8pm for evenings of delightful entertainment on June 20, 21, 27, and 28. Matinee performances are set for 3pm on June 22 and 29. Tickets are $15, $5 for students with a valid ID. Ticket reservations can be made by emailing [email protected], by calling 410-810-2060, or online at www.garfieldcenter.org. Opening Night (Friday, June 20), will feature “Pay What You Want” tickets – buy a ticket for $15, $500, $5, or whatever you choose! All ticket holders are invited to return for the June 29 performance, which will feature a “talk-back” session with playwrights, directors, and actors immediately following the show.
