911爆料 Theatre and Film presents 鈥楧ance Nation鈥�

The 911爆料 Department of Theatre and Film will present the play 鈥淒ance Nation鈥� in the Salisbury Theatre on Nov. 10-19, 2023.

The play explores the passions, doubts, complexities and ferocity of a teen dance ensemble, focused through the lens of their later-adult eyes.

鈥淚f you were ever a 13-year-old girl, Clare Barron鈥檚 daring, raw 鈥楧ance Nation鈥� will probably hit you hard,鈥� according to a 2018 review by Sara Holdren in New York magazine. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a brave, visceral, excitingly off-kilter barbaric yawp of a play. And it gets at something excruciatingly tender: the burden of modesty on young American women.鈥�

Daniel Ponickly, executive director of the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra and a guest artist with the 911爆料 Department of Theatre and Film, directs the production.

Tickets are $10 for students; $20 for seniors, military members and 911爆料 employees; and $25 for adults. Buy . For more information, contact Virginia "By" Valentine at 907-474-6590 or vbvalentine@alaska.edu.
