Our latest installment of the nytheatrecast focuses on Swim Shorts 3, a new collection of short plays written to be performed in a swimming pool. Produced by Joe Cecala and Impetuous Theater Group, the production will be playing at an intriguing and most unusual location - the rooftop pool at the Midtown Holiday Inn. Michael Criscuolo talks to Impetuous managing director, Josh Sherman, and actors/playwrights Andy Chmelko and C.L. Weatherstone about the origins of this project, the challenges of doing outdoor summer theatre, and how Impetuous got their name, among other topics.

These three artists are quite entrenched in this project: Josh is the author of one of the plays in Swim Shorts 3. Andy will be performing in another one of the plays. C.L. is doing both.

Andy is also a recent Plays and Playwrights alumni. His play, Office Sonata, was published in Plays and Playwrights 2007.
