Last 2 Chances to See “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks”

Only 2 more chances to see “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” — the heart-warming comedy at the Waterfront Playhouse, starring Joy Hawkins and Denis Hyland, two of the Waterfront’s most amazing performers. When a formidable retired widow hires an ex-Broadway chorus boy to give her private dance lessons, it’s hate at first sight. Eventually they both learn unexpected lessons about friendship and life. Part comedy, part drama and part cha-cha-cha. “Konk Life” called it “a world-class show not to be missed.” Solares Hill said “It will make you laugh and laugh and laugh. And then, very gently, it will break your heart.” LAST TWO SHOWS: MUST END FEBRUARY 16, 2013 (8 PM)
