PLACES PLEASE!
by: Nicole Wolcott & Larry Keigwin
Longtime collaborators Larry Keigwin and Nicole Wolcott take audience members on a zany trip brimming with playfulness and anxiety from life behind-the-scenes. Set backstage during the final moments before the curtain rises, Places Please!, is a cabaret-style performance featuring a dance fanatic’s dream music score, from Broadway classics to contemporary classical music to ‘80s pop hits. The result is a buzz-worthy cocktail of biting satire, quick-witted physical comedy and gentle moments of deep pathos – celebrating the duo’s exuberant and dynamic relationship that served as KEIGWIN + COMPANY’s foundation during its formative years.
Places Please! has a running time of 50 minutes.
Friday, May 31 @ 8pm
