From ballet to bop, with a dash of mid-life salsa dating, life's journey is all about taking the next step.
Move on the Cha-Cha's is written and performed by Boston-based playwright and actress Diane Ripstein. "I'm not the first Baby Boomer to look at my life and wonder what the legacy might be," says Diane. "Like many others, I'm trying to age gracefully and find meaning, while keeping a sense of humor about the whole thing!"
Love, loss and laughter intermingle on the journey from age 5 to 55+. The Bubbe leads a parade of unique characters in a poignant look at a life lived and danced. So what's the secret? Keep moving and find the joy...whether aging, raging against aging or still looking for dreams to fulfill.
Move on the Cha-Cha's generated tremendous audience response at United Solo in both 2015 and 2016, winning Best Dramatic Script.
