ON STAGE - AUDITION NOTICELove & Vinyl
This February, Cadence brings audiences a unique, site-specific theatrical experience with Love and Vinyl — a romantic comedy set and performed in the heart of Plan 9 Music in Carytown.
Bogie and Zane’s weekly trip to their favorite record shop takes an unexpected turn when they meet Sage, the shop’s new owner. A witty and tender new play about late-in-life romance, vinyl treasures, and finding connection in the digital age.
