Book Signing – Villains Road Crew by Albalis Smith

Villains Road Crew by Albalis Smith

My Latin culture and my twenty-five years of experience working for many architectural firms are the driving factors for my writing.
My biggest intention is to see on stage one of my theatrical plays. I have been involved in the theatre since a young age.
One amusing anecdote is reflected in the making of The Moldy Oranges, one of the theatrical plays contained in my first book The Moldy Orange Bandage. My mother hated for my husband to buy oranges. She said they were very expensive. Since she lived with us for the last four years of her life, her disapproval for buying oranges caused many grievances in our household. After her passing, I decided to honor her memory creating a comedy of such trivial and silly family dispute.

The attendees may expect to receive a book containing two theatrical plays based on experiences an immigrant may go through in the workforce and familiar settings with The Villains Road Crew. Also, they may face the indignity employees experience while gaslighted or mistreated by the arrogant and condescending elites with The Business Park. Also, I may add, my husband and I are planning to do storytelling with puppets, to help the audience grasping the content of my books.
