Too Much Too Soon

Synopsis:
Too Much Too Soon is a collection of short plays commissioned by Red Elevator Productions and Lesser America. The production is a sequel to Red Elevators Too Little Too Late, that ran at HERE Arts Center in 2010 and that earned three New York Innovative Theater Award nominations, including Best Short Play, Best Actress in a Featured Role, and Best Ensemble. It included work by Lucy Alibar (Sundance Screenwriting Award), Bekah Brunstetter (Be A Good Little Widow), Sam Forman (The Moscows of Nantucket), Amy Herzog (4000 Miles - Lincoln Center, After the Revolution - Playwrights Horizons), Elizabeth Meriwether (No Strings Attached, New Girl) and Daniel Talbott (Yosemite - Rattlestick, Theater Hall of Fame Fellowship Award). Following Too Little Too Lates example, Too Much Too Soon will spotlight the work of promising and fiercely adventurous playwrights with distinct and diverse voices.
