Season | The Shorts Festival 2004
The Shorts Festival 2004
By Various Ohio Playwrights
April 2 - 25, 2004
Sudio One, Riffe Center
Two forlorn salesmen find themselves in the midst of
late-breaking news. A couple discover that no romantic
evening is complete without the intrusion of some pesky
fantasies. An African-American couple celebrate their
anniversary by remembering how far they’ve come in life
and being reminded of how far they still have to go.
These
never-before-seen plays and five others use a guest
room at the Westin Great Southern Hotel as their imaginary
backdrop.
This
year’s festival includes seven new works by Ohio playwrights,
as well as a contribution from one of the country’s
prominent emerging playwrights. The 10-15 minute plays
were selected from 90 submissions. The plays and playwrights
