AFTER MISS JULIE (Sep 2016)
Next Production: Stepping Out
by Richard Harris
Friday 27th September to Friday 4th October 2019, 7:30pm
This is a rollicking comedy about the attempts of a group of amateur tap dancers to overcome their inhibitions and left feet in a low-rent dance studio. Mavis, a former professional chorus girl, tries her hardest to teach the bumbling amateurs some terpsichorean skills for an upcoming recital. But before the dancing begins, Mavis must mediate the minor dramas that erupt among this motley but lovable crew on their way to triumph at their recital. Liza Minnelli starred as Mavis in the popular film.
