My newest work, "beginning of something,"  will end its initial run with a final performance tonight, May 21, at the Chocolate Factory.  The performances have been completely sold out this week; we've received two great reviews so far.Thanks again for all your help in realizing this production and making the show such a success!

all the best,

RoseAnne

My show 'beginning of something' opens tonight.  Above is a link to a preview from NewYorker magazine.  We've heard a critic from The New York Times is coming tonight!

The platform for the dance has been built and is working wonderfully.  Thank you all for helping me realize this project.

The Kickstarter has a few more days to go.  Donations can be made until 1:59pm on Saturday, May 14.  If you know of anyone who loves dance and would like to contribute, please pass the info on.

Thank you so much!
