Dessert & A Show: Dancing Lessons by Mark St. Germain Presented by Blackbox Theater Sunday, May 31st | Nome Schoolhouse

Join us for an afternoon where "logic meets emotion" in the beautiful, historic atmosphere of the Nome Schoolhouse. We are thrilled to present a special Dessert Theatre performance of Dancing Lessons, a funny, tender, and deeply human story about the unexpected connections that change our lives.

The Experience

Enjoy a decadent, chef-curated dessert accompanied by gourmet coffee, followed by a professional production in our intimate theater setting. Whether you're a long-time theater lover or looking for a charming Sunday outing, this "unexpected romance" is the perfect way to spend a spring afternoon.

The Story

When an awkward but brilliant young man seeks help from a spirited Broadway dancer, a simple series of lessons turns into something neither of them expected. As two very different worlds collide, both must learn the hardest steps of all: trust, vulnerability, and love. "Sometimes the person who changes your life is the one you never planned to meet."
