Santa Cruz Shakespeare presents its first-ever spring show, Vincent, the acclaimed one-person play by Leonard Nimoy. The 90-minute performance, starring SCS Artistic Director Charles Pasternak, will take place at the Veterans Memorial Building, 846 Front Street in Downtown Santa Cruz.
Vincent is a compelling theatrical portrait of Vincent van Gogh, drawn from a series of imagined letters between the artist and his brother Theo, that illuminate van Gogh’s creative drive, personal struggles and enduring legacy. In this intimate production, Pasternak delivers a singular performance that brings depth and humanity to one of history’s most influential artists.
