Vantage Theatre Presents - A WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCTION- BEST LAID PLANS by Robert Salerno Inspired by a true story, a brilliant young architect has surgery for a brain tumor and wakes up unexpectedly blind. Alone, lost and despondent, he cannot envision a path back to life, much less architecture...Then Beethoven shows up! Featuring Blake Stadnik, the Blind Actor from NBC's hit series " This is Us". Directed by Sam Woodhouse Made possible in part by a grant from the Prebys Foundation and The California Arts Council and with the support of the Sofia Hotel
