DANCING ON NAILS, a new play by Paul Manuel Kane and directed by Allen Lewis Rickman, ended its Off-Broadway run on July 31st.

He's Jewish and she's Black. He's 52 and she's 23. And it's 1953. DANCING ON NAILS explores the relationship between a lonely middle-aged shopkeeper and his young African-American employee in 1950s Greenwich Village.
