Pressure Makes Diamonds, written & performed by Anthony Valbiro
When the other kids in Port Chester, NY ran outside to play after school, young Anthony Valbiro raced to his basement rec room—to draw the curtains, flip on a spotlight, grab a microphone, cue the reel-to-reel, and croon his heart out.
Friday, February 13th at 8pm and Sunday, February 15th at 3pm, the Armonk Players presents Anthony Valbiro telling his story through narration, monologues, and flashbacks. He pulls us into the “quest for fame” that shaped his 1960s childhood.
A funny, engaging autobiographical play about growing up in a big, theatrical Italian family—where everyone has advice and no one lacks an opinion. Valbiro brings to life a vivid cast of characters from his youth.
Along the way, the play asks: Who shapes us? What is success? And what does it cost to chase our dreams?
General Admission: $15 (Cash at the door). Online ticket purchases will stop two hours before the start of the performance. Seating is unreserved. (Please bring your confirmation with you!) http://www.armonkplayers.org/schedule.html
