About the Show

A new play navigates the poignant challenges of change and family dynamics with humor and insight.

At a pivotal moment, a mother and son face a turning point—she's ready to leave the family home, while he, on the cusp of fifty, is getting engaged. In The Slow Dance when a professional organizer enters the scene, more than furniture is dismantled, unraveling deeper questions about change and letting go. This poignant and humorous exploration of family, identity, and the dance of life encourages us to adapt to new rhythms, reminding that even in the face of significant changes, we can learn to dance to a new tune at any age.
