World premiere play, Silent Dancer starring Musical Theatre Program alumni Mikki Reeve, Alice Ryan, and Makayla Cussen is now playing at Salt Lake Acting Company April 10-May 12.

Described as "dance/play/romance" by Utah-based playwright Kathleen Cahill, Silent Dancer is a world of dangerous love, secret identities, maids, dancers, criminals, silent movies, and the most famous couple in New York--Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald. A groundbreaking theatrical experience which expresses the pulse, the change, and the infinite possibilities of life in America.

Department of Theatre Professors Michael Horejsi (lighting design) and Jen Jackson (sound design) are part of the creative team in this Jazz Age romance.

This play contains adult themes.
