Short Attention Span Theater II

SAST is Back!

Eight original short plays! Eight directors! One young comedian! Six great nights only!

In partnership with the Chicago Park District, Fury Theatre proudly presents our second annual one act fest with Short Attention Span Theater II, a celebration of the one act play and our propensity to change the channel every fifteen minutes.

Over four hundred short plays from all over the country (and one from New Zealand) were submitted! 12 were chosen as finalists and 8 were chosen by our festival directors.

Fury's dedication to fostering emerging talent has brought together these 8 brand new fifteen minute works and paired them with eight emerging and talented directors. Cast with Chicago's own local actors, Fury is bound to please your senses with these witty, cagey, productions What's even better, we do it all for a $15 or pay-what-you-can ticket price!

Feature Performer: Young Comedian Trevor Burke.
Seasoned young comedian Burke is set to warm up our crowds at the top of the show on all six nights. www.trevorburke.com
