The Villager's Mike Sockol New Playwrights Series - Presents an Original Play: TRACK Andrew has a sudden urge to run and run fast. It's his senior year of high school and he needs to do something substantial. He decides that joining the Varsity Track team is it. Late at night, once the local track is closed to the public, he comes across Silvia, the town's star track runner, and looks for guidance. She’s quick with the cold shoulder, just as quick as she is around the track. With unwavering confidence and determination, Andrew’s journey to leave something behind will prove difficult and rocky as hell. This story explores how we move forward; do we accelerate towards denial or stand still and face our fears head on? Playwright: Angel J. Rivas Directed by: Dennis A. Oliveira
