The Dance of the Red Skirts

"Art does not reproduce what we see, rather, it makes us see"
-- Paul Klee

Three young people meet by chance. They are all struggling with their own demons; Roger, a daydreaming office worker bored stiff with his job; Celia, just discovered she is pregnant and is not as happy as she thought, and Rachel, a no-nonsense wanabee song writer full of zeal at voicing her opinions. Their interactions include a sexual dalliance, a confrontation and a night at the opera.

“The acting ensemble of Maev Beaty, Greg Gale and Erin Shields, who helped create the play, is outstanding, and the three troubled characters they portray tug at the heart strings.”
