Seventeen-year-old Conor feels stuck in the London suburb of Croydon and dreams of doing something unexpected—entering a country-and-western dance competition. He’s joined by Michael, a fellow lifeguard at the local leisure center, and Zainab, sharp-tongued, brilliant, and never shy about sharing her opinions. What begins as a half-serious idea becomes a journey of self-invention as the three rehearse, clash, and ultimately learn to trust one another. Their path to the stage is chaotic, heartfelt, and full of surprises—revealing that even the smallest dreams can crack open a life when shared with the right people. Rooted in humor and queer joy, the play explores identity, chosen family, and the courage to dance toward your dreams even when the world feels small.
Open Space Arts is at 1411 W. Wilson Ave., Chicago, IL.
