2ND ACT is a storytelling series featuring ordinary people sharing the extraordinary things they are doing in the 2ND (half) ACT of their lives!
On Tuesday, April 16th at 7:00 pm, join the Palace Theater for the story of beloved Connecticut dance educator and choreographer Donna Bonasera. Following a stroke two years ago, Bonasera regained her mobility, reclaiming her ability to teach and dance.
Over the course of her illustrious career, Bonasera has trained hundreds of young dancers, some of whom have become renowned professional ballet dancers. With the same discipline she instilled in her students, she refused to be sidelined after suffering a stroke. Today, she continues to teach and share the joy of dance and movement in her popular dance classes for senior-aged students, as well as continuing to train the next generation of young ballet hopefuls.
Her love of dance helped her regain her zest for living - this interactive presentation may just get you on your feet and dancing!
Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at the Box Office: 203-346-2000 or palacetheaterct.org.
