Photo Flash: First Look at Andrew Harper's Vaudeville Tribute SONG & DANCE

After a successful run at Lincoln Center, Andrew Harper brings his stunning tribute to vaudeville to the legendary 13th Street Rep for one week only.

Combining theatre, dance, and history, Song & Dance follows a dysfunctional band of vaudeville performers as they attempt to put on a show in a world that is all too short on time, money, and interest. Choreographer Andrew Harper takes creative cues from these limitations to build a unique and richly detailed world stocked with contemporary reincarnations of classic vaudevillian acts: a cut-throat sister act, a soulful troubadour, a child star on the verge of womanhood, a magician running out of tricks, and a lonely ventriloquist with his absent dummy. Harper peppers his works with ideas culled from his international journey as a dance and his recent success as a choreographer at venues like Lincoln center and The Cirkus Theatre Project.

SONG & DANCE: ONE WEEK ONLY

Thursday - Saturday, May 5 - 7 @ 8:00 pm and Sunday, May 8 @ 3:00 pm.

Harper and his troupe use the vaudeville show experience as a framework to examine their own experiences as performers and to explore the lines where backstage meets onstage, rehearsed meets improvised, and performer meets person.
