Our next PT Shorts: "Love: Not Just For Lovers"

On Saturday February 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Cotton Building at Water and Madison Streets, Port Townsend, PT Shorts presents "Love: Not Just For Lovers."

The hour-long program is presented by Key City Public Theatre and is free to the public.

The evening is directed by Deb Hammond.

This February we have three unusual stories about love in its varied forms.  The humorous “A Shocking Accident” by Graham Greene, explores a boy’s love for his father and threads its way through the boy to the man he becomes. Ultimately the accident may make the difference in whether the grown man is able to love the woman he is engaged to marry.

“The News in English” another Greene story is  a drama of war-time intrigue involving love and loyalty in unusual circumstances.

“The Wedding” by Joy Williams completes the program.

Port Townsend (PT) Shorts is a monthly series of literary readings produced by Key City Public Theatre and sponsored by the Port Townsend Arts Commission. Catch PT Shorts during Gallery Walk on the first Saturday of every month.

Upcoming:  PT Shorts for February 4 -- "Love: Not Just For Lovers"
