Selected Shorts

Selected Shorts brings a unique live literary experience to the stage, featuring acclaimed actors reading short stories by both classic and contemporary writers. This isn't a typical author reading; it's a performance art piece where the stories come alive through dramatic interpretation, offering a fresh perspective on written works. Each program is curated around a theme, making every show distinct. This particular performance of Selected Shorts takes place Sunday, September 27, 2026, at the Presidio Theatre Performing Arts Center in San Francisco. The theater's intimate setting is well-suited for this kind of spoken word event, appealing to those who appreciate literature, theater, and engaging storytelling in a live format.
