Join us on April 26th for "Hand in Hand", a musical based on Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde (which satirized, and scandalized, Viennese society a hundred years ago) that explores a sexual/romantic daisy chain linking couples in a contemporary cityscape.

People are fascinated with people: different classes, different types. We explore twelve characters, and how they present contradictory facets of their personality with different partners. Each of the twelve zodiac signs is represented, but an audience member who has no interest in astrology can enjoy the scenes and songs on their own merit.

Book and Lyrics by K. C. Brown (Claire)

Music by Bob De Dea

A native of Vancouver, B.C., Claire has been making up stories and acting them out since she was old enough to talk. These twin passions led to a BA in Theatre and English at Yale, and an MFA in Directing at UBC. Under the professional name Claire Vardiel, she has acted on stage, screen and radio, and is a member of Actors Equity, Screen Actors Guild-AFTRA, UBCP and ACTRA. Claire’s Sherlock Holmes play about a mystery in the personal life of the great detective, Sherlock’s Veiled Secret, is published by Dramatists Play Service. Her Golem and The Realm of Whispering Ghosts: If Truman Met Einstein both received premieres at the Bathhouse Theatre in Seattle. Her Rip! (A Winkle in Time) was premiered by Axis Theatre in Vancouver, exploring a classic tale in a physical theater romp. www.normandypress.net
