DANCING LESSONS
by Mark St. Germain
Rehearsals for Dancing Lessons will begin January 14, 2019. Performances will run weekends from February 1 to February 17.
Dancing Lessons centers on Ever, a young man with Asperger’s syndrome, who seeks the instruction of a Broadway dancer to learn enough dancing to survive an awards dinner. The dancer, Senga, however, is recovering from an injury that may stop her dancing career permanently. As their relationship unfolds, they’re both caught off-guard by the discoveries—both hilarious and heartwarming—that they make about each other and about themselves.
Ever: (mid 20’s to mid 30’s) Young man, professional with Asperger’s Syndrome. High functioning. Neurotic. Also affectionate.
Senga: (Early 30’s to late 30’s) Dancer at the end of her career. Bitter, resentful and struggling emotionally. At the center is a softness.
We are looking for actors of all races and ethnicities.
