BroadwayWorld.com: “Photo Flash – Pace New Musicals Presents Zoe Sarnak’s A LASTING IMPRESSION”

In “A Lasting Impression,” each of the three lead characters chose their own artistic medium – book, music or visual design – to express one shared story, reports BroadwayWorld.com

Josh Weinstein, a once guarded journalist, acts as the play’s narrator, using old taped interviews and pictures to guide us through his memory of his two sisters. Kali Blanche, a manic musician, is the piece’s composer, moving in and out of “her” band as the story unfolds. Simone Blanche, a young painter, controls the evolution of what begins as a blank set, and comes to life through the addition of her visual art.

“A Lasting Impression” is about impressions that we make through love, on those close to us, and through art, on those we may never meet.
