“Working on Confederates has afforded me the opportunity to learn that we must extend grace when creating theatre because it’s a process. It is okay not to have all the answers right away. I’m grateful to be a part of this creative team,” Short said about the process of working with the director, Stori Ayers.
Confederates will run at the Signature Theatre from March 4 until April 10.
