A sneak peak at the set design for Glimpses of the Moon

Daniel Pinha, set designer, "became very interested in those big luxurious spaces from the beginning of twenties, where all aspects of wealth can be found, and the materials are rich and ornate." He had the idea that, "money created big 'jewelry box houses' from the chandeliers to floors and the characters are kept in this luxurious environment, but are perhaps fragile like the glass that surrounds them. There are a lot of rooms with different entrances that lead to different places, perhaps almost like our characters are looking for their true value - the love that they find at the end."

From the research photos below and input by David Marquez, director/ choreographer, Daniel worked on incorporating the tone and imagery into the unit set idea pictured above.

Gary E. Vincent LIVE!

THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported Gary E. Vincent (and MetroStage) for his one-man show, making a life-long dream come true.

One customer stated it was "a seamless and invigorating mixture of recital, broadway musical and church service. Gary and William are AMAZING!!!"

To those who asked at the box office if a CD of Gary's singing was available, unfortunately nothing's been produced.... YET.

Below is a video segment from show, featuring William Hubbard, with Gary performing "You've Got A Friend."
