SANDBLASTED

By Charly Evon Simpson
Directed by Summer L. Williams
A co-production with WP Theater

Angela and Odessa are on a sandy search for something that might not be real but they are determined to make a way out of no way. When they stumble upon Adah, that’s right, THE Celebrity-turned-Wellness-Maven Adah, they decide to follow her lead not knowing that the journey could very well be the cure. sandblasted is a deeply stirring, funny, theatrically daring story of waiting and hoping, time and healing,  written by Vineyard’s 2019 Paula Vogel Playwriting Award winner, and WP Theater Lab alum, Charly Evon Simpson (Behind the Sheet), directed by Elliot Norton Award-winning director Summer L. Williams in her New York City debut.
