The Smiley Face and The Frown Entertainment Group presents a collection of works written by Mark Mason, Ellen Chambers, and Ashley Victoria Robinson. Human nature is by far one of the most powerful forces known on Earth. Our emotions fuel our drive to make the decisions we make on a day to day basis. This three part collection, starring JP Rapozo and Ashley Victoria Robinson, focuses on the darker side of humanity all while trying to find that thread of hope. One set, two actors, three stories, and four different characters, Vivaldi’s Winter is sure to take the audience on an emotional journey while exploring humanities deepest and darkest of secrets. From our sexuality, to our natural instincts, all the way to the morals we are taught, Vivaldi’s Winter will invoke thought and emotion throughout the telling of these tales.
