Thanks for Sharing – celebrate Thanksgiving in true Theatre R.A.W. style

A hundred fifty-year-old Thanksgiving tradition. An annual reunion. A family meal, laced with just a touch of greed, a pinch of jealousy, under-currants (sic) of coming out and moving in, a smidgeon of rebellion, a dash of separation anxiety and anticipation, and a soupçon of K-Pop. What could possibly go wrong?

Admission includes post-show wine and Thanksgiving nibbles reception with the cast.

ShortBurst Theatre® sees professional artists, tyro performers and members of the community at large pool their resources, their time, and their concerns, to create theatre that is relevant on a personal, local and global level, and do it all in a very short span of time, hence the name. “We performed for the State Senate and they built a rec center in our town – and it's all because of you!” Northridge Play Project, Northridge, Ohio.

Over the past 36 years, ShortBurst Theatre® has created 100+ collaborative productions locally, nationally and with companies from 11 countries, many that have later become main stage and touring productions, fostering cultural exchange and understanding and making a tangible difference across the city and around the world. “The performances and collaborations are excellent and very educative. Their work is brilliant!” Fusami Sugimine, Director Global Project, International Human Network, Japan.
