BWW Review: Orlando Shakes Rings in the New Year with Brilliantly Scripted DANCING LESSONS
Going to the theater is an intimate experience. We are pulled out of our everyday lives and isolated realities to immerse ourselves collectively in a story. We give over the reigns of control for a set amount of time and just absorb. On rare occasions, we find a story that moves us so thoroughly that we see the world from a different perspective when we awake from the dreamlike state. Mark St. Germain's latest masterpiece, DANCING LESSONS, is one of those compelling stories. It opened at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater this weekend with sold out performances.
