In an effort to provide concerts that offer the greatest COVID security for our audience members and because many of our audience members prefer to attend concerts that require masking, RDT will be providing one of our three concerts as “masks required.”

  • Thursday, September 29 – RDT will be requiring masks
  • September 30 and October 1 – RDT is recommending masks

Sifting through the past, Bill Evans' "Crippled Up Blues" presented the evolving set of ideas that makes something new. Live music by 3hattrio invigorated the performance experience, and the dancers connected as a true ensemble.

“

"Suite Benny" evoked the era of old Hollywood films, with twirling ballroom dancing and carefully paired couples circling the stage. This nostalgia was initially lost on me, and I settled in to let the movement wash over me. Enter Ursula Perry and Lauren Curley: two magnetic leaders, two chaperones that encouraged rather than monitored, two women who decided that pairing off with a partner would not suffice. Instead, they wove in and out of the on-stage couples and performed to the audience, with animation and confidence, that they would pave their own way in their created world.
