In Overture to a Thursday Morning - the first solo theater performance written, directed, choreographed, and acted in its entirety by former Windham County resident Kali Quinn - themes of loss, identity, and family secrecy merge in a multimedia performance rife with visual and aural complexity.

Overture to a Thursday Morning will be performed in a four-night run at Putney's Sandglass Theater (17 Kimball Hill, 802-387-4051), Thursday, April 28, through Sunday, May 1.
