Performances during Mother’s Day weekend include:
One Funny Mother
Thursday, May 9, 7:30 p.m.
Tickets: $29 / $35
Dena Blizzard is One Funny Mother! You may know Blizzard from her viral videos, including her “Back to School Rant,” which racked up 96 million views, or as the LIVE with Kelly Top 5 Co-Host Winner. The comedian, former Miss New Jersey, and married mother of three offers hilarious solo comedy in the Off-Broadway hit currently touring the United States. An outrageous and side-splitting 80 minutes of sass, One Funny Mother follows Blizzard on a hilarious journey through her day as she prepares for her big “Girls Night Out.”
David Dorfman Dance: Aroundtown
Saturday, May 11, 8:00 p.m.
Tickets: $27 / $35 / $42 / $47
Aroundtown is a kinetic poem that examines the varied, unique and sometimes divided notions of love – its meaning, purpose, and platform. With original music, text, and visuals, the work explores commitment, community, and intimacy in times of violence and strife. David Dorfman Dance’s trademark empathy, sly humor, and bombastic physicality are harnessed in this look at love as both sociopolitical and intimate weather systems in a delightfully moving performance.
