Vail Vignettes at Vail Mountain School. Through the Lens Series - Entry 8

The Vail Symposium and The Vail Valley Theater Company combined forces last Sunday to put together the inaugural presentation of 'Vail Vignettes'.  The vignettes were four short plays, celebrating and depicting the lives of 5 local icons here in the Vail Valley; Rod and Beth Slifer, Dr. Jack Eck, Elaine Kelton and Kelly Liken.  Each play was written in a different style, and all of them were performed with great humor.  Here are a few snaps from the night.

The group that had been chosen to perform Dr. Eck's vignette had 41 moments from his life to choose from (see notes hanging in the background).  Audience members were encouraged to yell out numbers and they would perform that particular moment.
