'Dancing the God'-Ft. Lauderdale's Women's Theatre Project
The Women's Theatre Project Presents the Eastern U.S. Premiere of
Dancing the God by Dr. Patricia Montley.
When a lawyer returns to her college to investigate the alleged
seduction of a student by her female dance teacher, it creates an
examination of sexual harassment exploring love, loss, and creative passion. The tale is spun as the actresses perform a series of sensual modern dance
performances set to Rachmaninoff's haunting Vocalise.
Genie Croft (Artistic Director of The Women's Theatre Project)
directs Dancing the God with a cast of three professional female actors.
Appearing under Actors' Equity Association Special Appearance Contract are
acclaimed actresses Linda Bernhard and Anna Marie Rajala, joined by
Tania Tesh, who returns for her third production with The Women's Theatre
Project.
Dr. Patricia Montley, playwright, lives in Baltimore and teaches
playwriting in the Odyssey Program at Johns Hopkins University. She is a
member of the Dramatists Guild, has written some 30 plays, of which ten
