SLCA presents “And…begin” A Trio of One-act Plays
Sand Lake Center for the Arts presents “And…begin”- the One-act Plays by capital region playwright Sky Vogel. Directed by Sierra Lynch and Sky Vogel, together they bring you “The Stand In” – During a film shoot, an ambitious young actress meets a stunt double who offers a glimpse of truth that lies beyond any script. “About the Author” – A woman, struggling to focus her thoughts, comes upon a stranger: her long forgotten self. “Shoes” – A teacher walks into a shoe store. So, does a businessman. Neither is shopping, but between them something valuable, and nonreturnable, is exchanged. This trio of plays will make you laugh, make you ponder and make you feel good!
