Sierra Stages to Present THE SHORTS: Four Fast-Paced Plays by Theresa Rebeck
Performances will run October 3 - October 19.
Sierra Stages will present its latest production, The Shorts, a captivating collection of four fun and fast-paced plays by Broadway’s most-produced female playwright, Theresa Rebeck. This dynamic new show will run from October 3 - October 19 at The Unchurch in Grass Valley, CA.
The Shorts starts by digging into Rebeck’s delightfully dark comedy through three short pieces (Sex with the Censor and Drinking Problem directed by Laura LeBleu and The Contract directed by Judy Merrick). Each explores different facets of the human experience—through the lens of Hollywood’s ultimate Faustian bargain, a woman who shares everything with her bartender, and one hilariously surreal hookup scene.
Rounding out the show is the longer What We're Up Against, a cuttingly comedic look at the challenging dynamics faced by women in the workplace. Directed by Sands Hall, this battle of the sexes offers a sharp critique on the gender barriers that persist in today’s professional environments.
