Chances in the Rain by Robert Scott.
Directed by Brian Ligthart.
May 09,10,11 at Park Avenue Theater, Amsterdam as part of a Variety Theater Evening with 3 other English Speaking Theater Groups.
The Story:
Sometimes even the best made plans do not end up the way anyone could have envisaged. Edward, Michelle, Sonia and Peter are hoping their lives are going to change for the better. Today should be their day, but as the rain clouds form it seems disaster has struck. As the four encounter each other in the park, all seems lost. But with misunderstandings and mistaken identities, will Edward, Peter, Sonia and Michelle have a second chance to make this day one they will remember for the right reasons?
