Friday and Saturday, 27-28 March; Tuesday to Saturday, 31 March and 1-4 April.


In Richard Alfieri’s touching and human comedy, a formidable retired woman, Lily Harrison, hires an acerbic dance instructor, Michael Minetti, to give her private dance lessons — one per week for six weeks — in her gulf-front condo in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida.

What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two people from very different backgrounds reveal their secrets, fears, and joys while dancing the Swing, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, and Contemporary Dance.

Michael and Lily learn to overcome their outward differences and discover an unlikely but profound connection. A comedy with music and dance, the play also addresses serious issues of ageism and intolerance.
