Time for Playwright’s Round Table (PRT) to put on its Summer Shorts. Running from August 13 through 22, in Winter Park, Florida, playwrights and locals get to see new plays come to life. This is a great time to kick back and see what local artists are doing before summer ends. It’s hot, hot, hot…

Belief, by Al Pergande, finds two Christian missionaries in a crisis-of-faith stew as their captors debate the value their shrunken heads will fetch. Belief is directed by Leesa Halstead and stars Kevin Sigman, Nicole A. Carson, Clare Ghezzi, and Andrew Hakimipour.
