Have you ever felt like just quitting everything to pursue a dream? Maybe it was a dream of being a musician or being a dancer or maybe even being a playwright.

Well, in today’s Untold Stories of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack talks with three folks involved with the following of dreams and the zigzag path those dreams have taken them down. Lucille Guinta-Bates and Scarlette Revolver are local dance artists in their own rights, yet both are recovering from injuries that have sidelined their professional careers at the moment. Part of their recovery process, however, is to partner up with Anthony Schrock, a first-time playwright and director.

Schrock’s play is “Two Days in St. Cloud” and is a result of his decision to move back to town from the west coast to pursue his dream. Written in the depths of last winter, this original comedic drama has attracted actors and partner organizations willing to give Schrock’s vision a chance. Here is that story!

Two Days in St. Cloud will have a “table-read” this Sunday, August 19th, at 7:00pm at the Beaver Island Brewery in St. Cloud, and will be performed again in September at Jules’ Bistro and then again as a full staged performance in November at GREAT Theater’s Helgeson Learning Lab Theatre.

This program is funded in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Legacy Grant.
