Selected Shorts 2011: Delicious Fictions

Saturday, 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.;
Sunday, 3:00 p.m.

Leonard Nimoy, Tim Curry, Denis O'Hare and Josh Radnor lead this year's lineup of terrific actors reading luscious tales of food and passions, politics, mystery, and deep sea adventure. 

Classic and new, these stories are set in diverse locales: in a shabby Brooklyn kitchen, on a submarine off the West African coast, at a fancy Manhattan society dinner party, at the Karaoke Don Quixote Bar in Oklahoma City, and beyond.

Awaken your palate with a perfectly paired wine and a scrumptious treat inspired by Delicious Fictions, served after each matinee performance and 45 minutes before Saturday evening's program.

Actors and stories are subject to change.
