DANCE. DANCE. REVITALIZE (Stage Edition)

Written and Directed by Glency Victoria Lopez

Glency Victoria Lopez as Melody, Kat Derikx as Nova, and

Colin Sweeney as Sketch

In Dance. Dance. Revitalized, Melody must make a choice: stay in the small but sure past where she will always have someone to dance with, or return to her lonely present, where the future of DDR is not so certain.

Genesis of the Show:

This show was born from a love of DDR and aims to spark conversations about preserving third spaces like libraries, theatres, parks, and after-school clubs; they must be protected, because losing them would be heartbreaking.
