The theme of the reading is the Seven Deadly Sins, as McDonnell explains: “These are seven short plays that explore the sins of Pride, Envy, Anger, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, and Greed in a humorous way. I’m delighted to be working with director Fran Young and a cast of very talented actors – Righteous Jolly, Sarah LeClair, Nancy Vander Zwan, Dave Levy, Nyiema Lunsford, and Paul Frank — who are bringing these plays to life. We all need a good laugh these days, and there will be plenty of them on October 20 with ‘Funny Shorts’.”
