In addition to his TV and feature film work, Short has appeared in the stage productions of "Godspell," "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" and "The Apple Tree," to name a few. Between films and live theatre, Short has written and produced three comedy specials – "Martin Short's Concert for the North Americas," "I, Martin Short Goes Hollywood" and "The Show Formerly Known as the Martin Short Show," which earned Short an Emmy Award.
