Paul Stein’s Solo Workshop at the VS Theatre is Magic!
This past Tuesday, I had the great pleasure of enjoying an awesome night of powerful solo performances that were born out of a workshop led by Paul Stein. This was all from the VS Theater which meetings every Tuesday night and has been continuing to do so on Zoom during these pandemic times. The pieces were revelatory and intimate – striking a chord with the fierce heart and the funny bone. Heads up because they’re going to do it again in the coming months. If you’re interested, send an email to Johnny Clark who heads up the VS Theatre at jclark@vstheatre.org. Yes, VS spells theatre the British way! Cheers! Here’s some info on Paul:
