  • Spike Heels

    A volatile young woman, a smooth-talking lawyer, a neurotic writer, and his elusive fiancée… What could go wrong? Andrew has grown close to his upstairs neighbor, Georgie, whose heels click on his ceiling when she returns from work every day. All seems well and good until Georgie confides a terrible secret about Andrew’s good friend, Edward. Tensions soar, passions spark, and hidden feelings unravel… And it only gets worse when Andrew’s soon-to-be wife, Lydia, confronts him about the truth of their relationship.

    Nahre Sol, Piano and Ben Finley, Bass

    Don’t miss the Vermont debut of this wholly original music duo featuring classically-trained, composing pianist Nahre Sol (who’s amassed over 75 million views on her YouTube channel) and internationally recognized, composing bassist Ben Finley. Sol and Finley’s music draws from their diverse musical influences, from chamber music to ambient soundscapes, improvisation, and more. Expect to hear solo and duo music (both familiar and original) that’s playful, colorful, agile, emotional, and picturesque between the bass and piano.
