STANDARD TIME

MARK STUART DANCE THEATRE Saturday, August 15, 2015 | 7:30 PM Sunday, August 16, 2015 | 2 PM Winter Center | Millersville Tickets: Starting at $30

Event Sponsor

First seen at the Fulton Theatre by sold-out audiences in September of 2013, STANDARD TIME returns to Lancaster by popular demand to remount the show and debut new material never seen before. This dance musical celebrates the timeless love and its power to defy society’s invisible rules that tear us apart. STANDARD TIME follows three separate, period-specific love stories. These stories are set against the backdrops of the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Movement, and the shifting contemporary landscape of today. Danced to hit standards from the 1930’s, 1960’s and the 2000’s respectively, the show features 14 dancers, 4 vocalists and a 5-piece orchestra.

New York based Mark Stuart Dance Theatre was dubbed “smoldering” by the New York Times and “electrifying” by BroadwayWorld.com for bringing gravity-defying movement and dramatic storytelling to the stage, screen, and printed page. Under the artistic direction of award-winning choreographer Mark Stuart, Mark Stuart Dance Theatre expressed the physical and emotional rawness of human relationships through a bold and explosive blend of dance movement.

This production is in association with Fulton Theatre.
