Ever Montgomery has to learn to dance for an award ceremony. It's actually not too difficult a task, if he didn't despise physical contact. Ever is autistic; in conversations, he usually takes everything literally, he has to painstakingly decipher the facial expressions of his fellow human beings, and he has organized his everyday life according to strict rules. This structured life is now being turned upside down, as he has chosen his neighbor Senga Quinn as his dance teacher – a recommendation from the janitor. However, Senga has her own problems: after an accident, it is questionable whether her broken leg will ever heal enough for her to work again as a dancer. The mood is quite tense when Ever asks his neighbor for lessons, especially since empathy is foreign to him in light of her bleak career prospects, and Senga initially misunderstands the absurdly high fee as an immoral offer. Over the course of a few weeks, the mismatched dance partners grow closer – perhaps even closer than is good for either of them.

Mark St. Germain has written a touching and funny play about an unequal pair that can only awkwardly keep the same beat, but learns much more important things about each other and themselves during their dance lessons.

Doors open 30 minutes before performance begins.
