The Play:
The Vineyard, is a daring, sensuous new play about a group of vagabonds living at a winery in Central Texas. Using fringe technology and science, they explore the boundaries of self-healing and transcendence. The Vineyard is uniquely-told, heartfelt story about falling in love and coming of age in a world filled with uncertainty and boundless scientific discovery.
