The Edge of Every Day
Sacred Stages presents THE EDGE OF EVERYDAY, which explores our fear of change and ultimately, our acceptance of the dichotomies of Life. “The Edge” is where our resistance, our reluctance to embrace the diversity of life, meets with the inevitability of change in all the corners of our lives. Sandra considers the tension between these seeming paradoxes with poignancy and comedy; and with music ranging from Bowie and Clapton to Georgia Stitt and David Cantor, the show is a ritual ride!
“Bargman ….providing some genuine musical thrills.”
– Matthew Murray, Talkin’ Broadway
