THE CUTTING EDGE: AN OFF-BROADWAY PLAY READING SERIES 2022

Next Up: Pulitzer Prize finalist, Dance Nation, by Clare Barron. “Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers (played by adults) plots to take over the world. And if their new routine is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at the Boogie Down Grand Prix in Tampa Bay. But in Clare Barron’s raucous pageant of ambition and ferocity, these young dancers have more than choreography on their minds, because every plié and jeté is a step toward finding themselves, and a fight to unleash their power.”

​WARNING
Dance Nation  includes strong adult language and discussion of sex, female anatomy, and menstruation, topics not often explored on stage.

Provocative, relevant, intelligent New York Theatre in Middlebury. 
Several times each season,  we share the bold, clever work of some of the most dynamic young playwrights to hit the New York scene in the last 5 to 10 years. The plays we pick have enjoyed a successful run in a boundary-pushing Off-Broadway theater. Each play speaks to our contemporary moment.  
The Series is curated and directed by Becky Strum, who has a distinguished history of directing and teaching theater in the New York Metro area.  Each play will be rehearsed and performed by Vermont’s finest actors.
All play readings will be on Sundays at 4pm, with refreshments and discussion for those interested.  Admission is free, donations encouraged.
