"Dancing Lessons" by Mark St. Germain

April 1 - 23, 2023

Produced by Miracle Theatre.
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.

“With great comedic timing, the two actors deliver brilliant performances that are both humorous and heartfelt. They have a believable chemistry that undoubtedly has the audience rooting for their relationship.”
— Hanna Petersen, The Prince George Citizen
