Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks by American playwright Richard Alfieri written in It is a play with only two characters: Lily Harrison, the formidable widow of a Baptist minister, and Michael Minetti, a gay and acerbic dance instructor hired to give her dancing lessons. It premiered at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles (with Uta Hagen and David Hyde Pierce) before moving to Broadway. It has been performed in 24 countries and has been translated into 14 languages. The 2014 movie starred Gena Rowlands. Here, in Albuquerque, audiences will be treated to enchanting performances by Georgia Athearn and Jason Godin.
Director Terri Klein chose Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks “because I love plays with interesting characters, witty dialogue, and a story that tugs at my heart. This play has all of those elements, plus beautiful music and dancing. I also chose this play because it has only two characters, which allows us to see Michael Minetti and Lily Harrison in all their dimensions, to get the full back story on each of them, and to enjoy the growth and flowering of their relationship without distraction”.
