Selected Shorts at the Adams Theater: Outsiders
The popular radio show and podcast Selected Shorts presents an evening of funny, moving, and surprising stories about people on the margins.
Join us for a live reading by a cast of acclaimed actors on our stage, including Oscar nominated David Strathairn. They will bring to life short fictions about rebels, newcomers, and lone wolves—celebrating how life on the outside can spark fresh perspective and the unexpected moments that turn strangers into insiders..
Our greatest actors transport us through the magic of fiction, one short story at a time. Sometimes funny. Always moving. Selected Shorts connects you to the world with a rich diversity of voices from literature, film, theater, and comedy.
Actors are subject to change.
