North Coast Rep launches Season 40 with live production of ‘Dancing Lessons’

North Coast Repertory Theatre is ringing in the new season with Mark St. Germain’s entertaining and charming “Dancing Lessons.” Two highly offbeat neighbors, a Broadway dancer and a science professor, forge an unexpected friendship as they face physical and emotional challenges. Filled with laughs and the intricacies of the human condition, the audience witnesses their journey of discovery and personal triumph as they come to realize that sometimes the most profound experiences can occur when least expected.

Richard Baird directs Leilani Smith and Christopher M. Williams on North Coast Rep’s mainstage.
