Spinning My Wheels
Written and Performed by Michael Garfield Levine

Tickets $15
This brutally honest, often harrowing, and sometimes funny roller coaster of a ride takes us from the 1970’s streets and stages of New York to the hills of Vermont, into the depths of Michael’s psyche as he battles mental illness and addiction. Clawing his way back to sanity through bicycle racing and a life-long career in acting, he encounters an Olympian, a Zen Master, a Holocaust survivor, and a meditation teacher who becomes his wife. This courageous journey is one of sheer guts, dogged determination, acceptance and survival.
The CENTER has been offering opportunities for the Hudson Valley community to create since 1994. We hope you will join us as a participant, a student, or an audience member!
