Sandra & Vernell Save Albany Street
a musical caper
with music by Sophia Schott
DeShazor & Schott
what a team!
When Sandra, a fed-up 1973 Detroit housewife, decides to leave her husband, she
enlists the help of Vernell, her reluctant best friend, to disguise as a man and help her open a bank account.
In the process, Vernell uncovers the financial mishandlings in her own “perfect” marriage, and while Sandra returns the favor the two discover a plot by city officials to destroy their neighborhood with the construction of a highway.
They’re not having that, but they’re going to need a lot more disguises and schemes to
save Albany Street!
