A mother and son are at a crossroads. She's finally ready to leave the family home. He's pushing fifty and just got engaged. When his fiancée hires a professional organizer to facilitate her future mother-in-law's move, more gets dismantled than just the furniture.
 
When change feels like the death of everything you’ve ever known, and the thing you know best is fear of change, is letting go even possible?
 
The Slow Dance is a thoughtful and funny look at family, identity, and the ties that can either bind or smother. A reminder that while life’s big changes can throw us off our rhythm we can learn the steps to a new dance at any age.
 
The performance schedule for The Slow Dance is as follows: Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30PM, Saturday - Sunday at 2:30PM. Exceptions: there will be no performance Saturday March 9 at 2:30PM.
