A short play by our own shul member Chuck Simon has been selected among hundreds of submissions for inclusion in the third annual Soop to Nuts “Short Play Festival,” a series of 10-minute plays, to be presented  over two weekends by the Soop Theatre Company, from Nov. 4 through 19, at The 530 Studios, 530 5th Ave., Pelham, NY.

Chuck Simon’s play, “A Very Important Roll,” will debut on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 8 p.m., with a repeat performance on Sunday, Nov. 6, at 2 p.m.

Six of the plays will be chosen by audience vote for performances on the final round, Saturday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m., when the contenders will be judged by a panel of professional writers, directors, actors and producers for a chance to win one of three cash prizes.

Chuck Simon is the author of Talmud Night, a novel, and also Building a Successful Volunteer Culture, a step-by-step guide to cultivating volunteers who thrive within the Jewish community, among other writings.
