Summer’s here and we’re feeling the heat! Domesticities and the Cutting Garden in Youngsville, NY, presents Big Sky Productions in a performance of “Shorts & Sweets: Summer Heat,” an afternoon of suggestive jokes and short stories.

This adult-only presentation will be offered on Sunday, July 23 at 2 p.m., and will feature New York City actress and director Sharlene Hartman and Big Sky Productions’ Artistic Director Carol Montana.

Sharlene Hartman has been acting, singing, dancing, writing and directing for most of her life. It all started out in San Francisco, with a broken collarbone and a lisp. Her credits include Off Broadway, indie films, television, live industrials, nightclubs, commercials, voice acting, skit comedy and rap songs. Her heart truly belongs to the theatre, however, most recently she’s been having a love affair with film. Her latest, “Lunch With Leslie,” is currently in festivals, receiving numerous awards, including Best Actress and Best Comedy Short. She simply loves creating a character.

Actress, producer, director Carol Montana has a Master’s Degree in Dramatic Form and Structure from the University of Connecticut. She has directed over 50 plays for her company Big Sky Productions, as well as for the Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop, Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, Sullivan Performing Arts and Sullivan County Community College.
