Accomplished actors to perform ‘Selected Shorts’ at CCA

Three stage and screen actors will perform short stories about love, loss, chance encounters and new beginnings at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25 at the Collins Center for the Arts.

The hit public radio series, “Selected Shorts: Let Us Tell You a Story,” is broadcast weekly on more than 150 stations to about 300,000 listeners.

This live “Strangers & Lovers”-themed performance features Mia Dillon of “BrainDead,” Keir Dullea of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and Zach Grenier of “The Good Wife.”

“Selected Shorts” — which include stories around a dynamic theme, favorite works of a guest author, or a special collaboration — are a unique night of literature in performance.

Author and humorist David Sedaris called the show “one of the finest evenings at the theatre.”

Tickets may be ordered online. Orders that include tickets for high school students must be purchased in person or by calling 581.1755 and picked up at the box office the night of the performance. Anyone requesting a special accommodation also may call.
