You Are Not Alone
Written By Thomas R. Gordon“A Modern Romantic Adventure”
Charles Vash is a doctor, an alchemist, and a thief. He is also the most miserable man in all of Manhattan. Over five years ago he lost his beloved “Angel of the Night”, Kate, to suicide. There was no note, and no explanation as to why.
Ever since then, he has been searching for answers. Searching for some way to reach Kate. He has traveled through Space, Time, and Heaven in his exploration.
But it is in Hell that Charles finally found someone who will offer him a deal.
And what of Kate? What is her mystery? Why did she die? And will she be able to save Charles from himself after all that he has done to reach her?
Will they be able to save each other from a fate worse than death?
Please join The Onomatopoeia Theatre Company this Nov & Dec. for a miraculous journey through New York City & beyond.

CHARLES - Robert Bradvica
Robert L. Bradvica first moved to NYC to attend the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts in 2015, and since then has dabbled in all aspects of theater, from directing and producing, to stage managing and acting. He was last seen acting as The Accountant in Onomatopoeia Theatre Co.'s "Teach Me How to Die", and is beyond excited to be back performing at the Gene Frankel. He'd like to give a shout out to his brother (who happens to be SMing this show), his folks, and his girlfriend. Without their endless support, he's not sure where he'd be.
