Dance Nation

Dance Nation
Somewhere in America, a revolution is coming. An army of competitive dancers is ready to take over the world, one routine at a time. With a pre-teen battle for power and perfection raging on and off stage, Dance Nation is a ferocious exploration of youth, ambition and self-discovery.

Notes:
Winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and The Relentless Award, Dance Nation is Clare Barrons explosive new play.

Dirty Crusty Or Grandad

Synopsis:
You're never too old to learn ballet. Or at least that's what Jeanine hopes when she starts taking adult ballet classes from a badass ex-ballerina. A play about dance, sex, bad hygiene, and the attempt to reclaim big dreams. (It ends with a 20-minute dance sequence. . .)

Notes:

The Kilroys is a group of playwrights and producers in LA who publish an annual industry survey of excellent new plays by female and trans playwrights.

You Got Older

You Got Older
Mae returns home to help take care of Dad and  maybe (a little)  herself. You Got Older is a tender and darkly comic new play about family, illness, and cowboys  and how to remain standing when everything you know comes crashing down around you.
