Readers Theatre Plus (RT+) will present six performances of “Comedic Short Stories, A Handful of Humor,” at the Guy Cole Center in Sequim on the first two weekends in October.

The performances will benefit the Sequim-Shiso Sister City Association, a local nonprofit organization which facilitates a student exchange program with Japan.

The cities of Sequim and Shiso, Japan, signed an agreement in 1993 to promote mutual friendship and cultural exchange.

The Sister City Association assists in an annual student exchange as well as maintaining and improving the Friendship Garden at the entrance to Carrie Blake Park.

These performances are a series of five short comedies, two of which are written by local playwrights.

Ric Munhall and John Cory will direct these stories with Jeff Clinton acting as production manager for RT+.

Tickets will be $10 if purchased in advance or $12 at the door.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Oct. 2-3 and Oct. 9-10 with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Oct. 4 and Oct. 11. RT+ and the Sister City Association are partnering with the City of Sequim and City Arts Advisory Commission to promote the arts in the community.
