SUMMER SHORTS Opens August 26 at Town Players
SUMMER SHORTS, a special limited-run production of one-act plays, opens Friday night, August 26 at 8 PM at Town Players' Little Theatre.
Written and previously performed by the Garner Players of Garner Correctional Institute of Newtown, these plays reveal a depth of talent, variety and insight from these new playwrights. Several former members of the Garner Players are directing and performing in this production as their debut performances in community theater.

Directors for this exceptional evening of entertainment include Mark Aldrich, J.V. Harvey and Timothy Huebenthal. SUMMER SHORTS includes the talents of Mark Aldrich, Ken Anderson, Tony Benedetti, Maggi Heilweil, Timothy Huebenthal, Terry Polvay and Jeff Rossman.
