Eat My Shorts: Short Story Theatre is a new event series that brings short fiction to life. At each event, the work of a selected author will be performed, sometimes directly from the text, other times from versions adapted for theatre. On April 29, we'll launch the series with the help of Applause Community Theatre, who will lead with a spirited read-through of several stories, followed by opportunities for audience participation. The featured author for our first event will be Sherman Alexie, the American poet, writer, comedian and filmmaker, much of whose writing draws on his experiences as a Native American.
