Open Stage began streaming a staged production of “Kafka’s Shorts” on Jan. 8, and the production will be available on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and on Sundays at 3 p.m. through Sunday, Jan. 24. Viewers may watch at www.youtube.com /openstage and www.fb.com /openstagehbg. The production continues the theater’s unconventional 35th season, wherein the staff has planned and produced staged performances that are filmed and may be streamed on TVs, computers, and smart devices. Kafka was a Bohemian novelist and short story writer best known for “The Metamorphosis.” The stories in “Kafka’s Shorts,” adapted by David Karl Lee, include “A Country Doctor,” “The Hunger Artist,”
and “A Report to an Academy.” The compilation combines absurdity, humor, and tragedy. The play was filmed using CDC guidelines on social distancing and mask wearing and is the first show to feature an expanded cast in Open Stage’s season. Actors who had been living or working together were able to act together in scenes, noted director Chris Gibson.
