Cerro Coso's summer Short Plays Festival offers entertainment with a new twist; all of the performances are student-directed. The festival will be presented on Friday, July 20 and Saturday, July 21 at 7:30 pm and on Sunday, July 22 at 2:00 pm. Due to the renovation of the College Lecture Center, performances will take place in the East Wing in Room 206 (seating is limited). Tickets are $4 for General Admission and $3 for Students, Seniors, and Military. Tickets are available at Red Rock Books and at the Cerro Coso Business Office. Tickets will also be available at the door.

Savanah Liszka is directing two plays: Arabian Nights by David Ives and Eating Out by Marcia Dixcy. Arabian Nights is a romantic comedy about shopkeeper and a tourist who communicate through a quirky translator. Eating Out is a dramatic confessional of three women who suffer from eating disorders. Joshua Horton is directing Scream by Gregory Vovos. Scream is an absurdist depiction of an end-of-the-world party. Rick Tobias is directing Misadventure in Story Time, a play he wrote himself. Misadventure in Story Time is a comedic depiction of a fairytale gone awry, complete with Princess, Hero and Monster!

The Short Plays Festival is not suitable for children.
