FLASH FICTION At Deep Dish Offers Very Short Stories 4/3

The Deep Dish Theater Company will take its series of short story evenings to the extreme with a program of very short stories, "Flash Fiction," on Friday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m. Admission for the event is a suggested donation of $5 or a non-perishable food item, with proceeds to benefit the Inter-faith Council's Food Bank.

"Flash Fiction" will be curated by Dr. David Carr, who will join Deep Dish actors in reading a variety of stories linked by their brevity, some just a paragraph or two long. Among the actors participating will be Margaret Jemison, who appeared in the Deep Dish production of State of the Union, and Ashley Quinones, from last year's production of Sarah Ruhl's The Clean House.

"On one level, these evenings are an exploration of story-telling," said Deep Dish Artistic Director Paul Frellick, "and in the pieces that David has collected, the story is boiled down to its most essential components. It should be a fun and fascinating event."

The Deep Dish Short Story evenings are presented in conjunction with the Inter-faith Council Food Bank. Headquartered in Carrboro, The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service helps individuals and families achieve their goals by providing shelter, food, direct services, advocacy and information to people in need. Baking goods, canned meat, pasta and pasta sauce, canned beans, cereal, and rice are among the essential foods always needed at the IFC food pantry.
