A Day for Grace by Doug Vincent at Next Act Theatre

Becoming a father for the first time ain’t for the faint of heart - the huge responsibility, those haunting ghosts from the past, that crabby delivery room nurse. The daunting journey summons serious guts and truly requires a sense of humor. The challenges can unfurl unpredictably, leading you to face everything from Little League angst to autistic rage. Or to face the greatest challenge of all: your own demons. A DAY FOR GRACE recounts the adventures of a father-to-be chasing parental shadows to find the light for his unborn child. On the eve of his daughter’s birth, unforeseen complications propel Doug’s emotions to pour out of him as he confronts the demons of his tumultuous youth growing up in small town Virginia.



Playwright/lead actor Doug Vincent and roots rock legend Sam Llanas (formerly of BoDeans) share the stage in this inspiring autobiographical tale. With original music performed by Llanas from the album A Good Day to Die.
