Photo Flash: First Look at Astoria Performing Arts Center's VEIL'D
Award-winning and critically-acclaimed Astoria Performing Arts Center (APAC) kicks off its 17th season with the world premiere of Veil'd written by Monet Hurst-Mendoza and directed by Pirronne Yousefzadeh. Check out photos from the show below!
Veil'd tells the story of Dima, a 16-year old girl with a rare skin condition. Cloistered away in her bedroom, her parents worry that she'll never have the "normal" American teenage experience they sought for her when they came to New York from Afghanistan. Little do they know that Dima's getting by with some help from her secret friends - Elliot, a poet who hangs out under her window hawking rhymes, and Speedo, a talking nurse shark who saves the day in more ways than one. But will Dima get her happy ending? Rapunzel never had it this bad ... or this good.
Veil'd runs now through November 18, 2017 at the Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, 30-44 Crescent St. (at 30th Road), Astoria, NY 11102. Performances are Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm, and Saturdays at 2pm and 8pm.
Tickets are $18 for adults ($12 for students and senior citizens) and are now available online at www.apacny.org. Tickets may also be purchased in person at the box office ½ hour prior to each performance.
