Summer Shorts is back! City Theatre’s signature short-play festival returns June 26–29 with 20 bold, hilarious, and thought-provoking ten-minute plays across four unforgettable nights at the Sandrell Rivers Theater. Presented in collaboration with Villain Theater each performance features a new lineup of five script-in-hand readings, performed by a rotating cast with live music and one very memorable host. The lineup includes four new short plays by HOMEGROWN playwrights. This year, we welcome Jannelys Santos as Rhonda Sanchez, a fictional character created for the festival. Rhonda is our rhinestoned response to Florida’s defunding of the arts: a sharp-tongued, patriotic parody who brings satire, sparkle, and a side-eye to the stage. General admission is $25. Festival passes (good for all four shows) are $80. VIP tickets are $40 and include up-front cabaret-style seating and a welcome drink: Rhonda’s Red, White, and Boozy. Buy your tickets before we get banned! Proceeds support City Theatre’s Defunded Not Defeated fund. https://ftfshows.thundertix.com 📸 Morgan Sophia Photography (fb)
