Join us for Short 'n' Snappy #5: two hours of comedy, tragedy and everything in between, delivered in six plays that, while being short, don’t lack bite.

The Finns in My Living Room  written & directed by Jarkko Mikkola

Pekka from Sweden (you read that right) is preparing a surprise party for his non-Finnish wife. Both Finns and foreigners are gathered at the house, there is song and merriment. At a joyous event such as this, what could possibly go wrong? What is the absolute worst that could happen?

Almost Perfect  written by Trevor Suthers & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine

Forever True  written by Neil Walden & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine

Vent  written by Gavin Harrison & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine

'Two’s company, three’s a crowd.' Derek obviously hasn’t heard this piece of wisdom, as he brings a friend on his first date with Lisa. A very … special kind of friend. But does Derek’s wingman really have his best interests at heart?

Logical Phallusies  written & directed by Zachariah Chamberlaine & Todd Elliott

Welcome to Logical Phallusies, the game show for arguing with dicks. Each week, two contestants try to win arguments, but with an added twist – they have to win by using a variety of logical fallacies and handicaps. One of their biggest handicaps being the host, who is – as tradition dictates – a flashy and unbearable egomaniac.

Cast:
Host – Arnaud Praplan
Ivor – Zachariah Chamberlaine
John – Todd Elliott
