A unique piece of theatre telling the story of dancers who struggle to find a balance between living their dreams and just living, City Lights: a play with dance incorporates music and choreography as storytelling elements.

City Lights: a play with dance was originally produced as a part of Manhattan Repertory Theatre’s Fall New Play Festival, and was slated to open on November 1, 2012.  Unfortunately for so many, Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeast on October 29th, and the production team was forced to cancel the premier.

Four months later, production was back on track, this time The Red Door Theatre Company acted as the producer.  With a bigger budget, new music, extended choreography, and an embellished script, City Lights opened at TBG Studios on March 22, 2013.
