Brown Box Theatre Project returns for their Second Annual Evening of Short Plays: BOXER SHORTS II: From Water to Dust / De Agua al Polvo.

All four plays feature playwrights of Latin American descent and are tied together by common themes of memory, reflection, and repentance.

"Multiple directors must work together with designers and actors to meld these individual plays into a cohesive, one-of-a-kind experience."
