Run of Show

"Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks" ran  September 5 - 20, 2008, Thursday through Saturday at 8:00pm

Synopsis

A formidable woman hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her lessons at her gulf-front condo in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. Antagonism between this gay man and this widow of a Southern Baptist minister gives way to profound compatibility as they swing dance, tango, cha-cha, and execute contemporary dances while sharing secrets, joys and fears.

During the sixth and final lesson, she reveals a closely guarded secret - she is terminally ill. He shares his greatest gifts - loyalty and compassion.
