Syncopation at Ensemble Theatre Company

From the mind of Little Women playwright Allan Knee comes a magical romance set in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 1910’s. Desperate for an escape from his solitary life as a meatpacker and dishwasher, Henry places a classified ad in the newspaper in hopes of landing a dance partner. When the shy Anna answers his ad, Henry’s dreams of becoming a ballroom dancer are put to the test… but with each tango and foxtrot they are drawn closer together, setting off an unlikely romance. A fascinating blend of theater and dance, Syncopation tells a story about reaching for dreams.
