Selected Shorts comes to the Montalvo Arts Center with Unexpected Encounters, an evening of funny, moving short stories about unlikely connections. The characters in these stories may be lonely, but they've got blind dates with destiny ahead of them…and it's anyone's guess what could happen next! With Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle), David Strathairn (The Expanse), and Kirsten Vangsness (Criminal Minds).

Selected Shorts is produced by Symphony Space and broadcast on more than 150 stations around the country. The Selected Shorts podcast consistently ranks as one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes. The series began in 1985 and enjoys sold-out performances to this day. Selected Shorts was conceived with a simple premise: take great stories by well-known and emerging writers and have them performed by terrific actors of stage and screen. Featuring stories around a lively theme, the favorite works of a guest author, or a special collaboration, each Selected Shorts event is a unique night of literature in performance.
Actors subject to change.
