Working with the Hartford Public Library is part of TheaterWorks Hartford’s effort to create greater access to the arts. TheaterWorks believes that theater and storytelling play an essential role in building strong communities and creating important social discourse.
Sandra by David Cale, with music by Matthew Dean Marsh, is about a Brooklyn-based cafe owner who is thrown into a desperate search when one of her closest friends mysteriously disappears on a trip to Mexico. Sandra is then propelled into a psychologically thrilling adventure filled with mysterious strangers and a highly-charged love affair. In this new and boldly innovative production, Sandra’s search for answers ultimately leads her into increasingly dangerous territory and to places she never could have imagined.
