Dance Nation
By Clare Barron
Directed by Sarah Gazdowicz

Pre-teen competitive dancers prepare for Nationals, and their number’s coveted solo has yet to be assigned. As the pressure of the looming competition builds, the dancers must navigate shifting ground–changing bodies and bursting ambitions–together. Clare Barron’s Dance Nation presents the euphoric highs and devastating lows of dawning adolescence alongside a shared devotion to art that can bring a group together and bring you back to yourself.

Please be advised that this play contains haze, strong language, discussions of suicide, violence, self-harm, sexual violence, sexual themes, and depictions of self-harm, violence and simulated masturbation.
