It’s semifinals at the Queens Short Play Festival at The Secret Theatre (! After 190 submissions, 48 short plays were produced and have been running over the past few weeks. Now, the top 16 short plays have moved on and are competing for a spot in the finals.
Among them is “Cosmic” by LIC local Kelsey Puttrich. In Cosmic, Cindy is living the dream—or so she keeps telling herself. With a handsome (enough) husband, a pristine minivan, and a well-ordered life in a quiet suburb, she’s perfectly content. Enter Annabelle: the chaotic new neighbor with a tray of brownies and zero social filter. This short play takes us on a journey of repression, desire, and what happens when someone with no filter meets someone who’s never questioned the script.
This is the best-of-the-best and a great example of theatre in Queens. Come out to support a local playwright at a local theatre, and check out “Cosmic” at The Secret Theatre.
