Dance Nation by Clare Barron is a dynamic, surreal Pulitzer Prize Finalist. The dark comedy centers the adolescent female experience, exploring pre-teen sexuality and mental health through an army of young competitive dancers plotting to take over the world. The show will perform at 7pm on August 30 at the Center Theatre.
We chose to produce Dance Nation as a meaningful, empowering show for our youth artists and leaders to work on. That said, it is an ambitious production and contains a lot of material that is highly vulnerable in many ways. Please note that Dance Nation contains strong language, violence, sexual themes, depictions of masturbation, and discussion of mental health issues including suicidal ideation.
