Well-Balanced Dads follows Dick and Dale, two suburban American dads and best friends, who take the audience on a camping adventure filled with dad jokes, dance moves, acrobatics, movie references, and audience participation. The show balances levity with deeper themes like finding your inner child, hypermasculinity, and navigating life after the kids have flown the nest. The characters are co-developed and performed by Richie Schiraldi and Britt Anderson, both Co-Artistic Directors of Whisper Theatre Collective. The show is family friendly and best suited for ages 8 and up.
