About the show:
Dance Nation
By Clare Barron
April 15-30, 2022
Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. And if their new routine is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at Nationals in Tampa Bay. A play about ambition, growing up, and how to find our souls in the heat of it all. Finalist of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and winner of the 2017 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
