In its sustaining belief that brevity is the soul of wit, Actors & Writers will present its annual festival of staged readings of short plays on Saturday, October 20, at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK) at 8 p.m. Ten-minute comedies, dramas, and dramedies by company members will be performed with the gusto, elan, and panache that A&W’s fanatically faithful audiences have come to expect.
