Short works, big ideas.

Our short works program, 600 Seconds, returns bigger than ever! Expanding into five distinct programs: Moves, Makes, Montage, Music, and Menagerie, this year’s program bursts with bold ideas, fresh talent, and creative energy to warm your winter nights.

Across the two weeks of Winter Nights, be transported to another dimension with 2 designers reshaping The Blue Room Theatre. Mentored by Sam Knox, artists will manipulate and morph space with their hands.
