Dancing Sky Theatre – Meacham

Dancing Sky Theatre is capping off its 20th season with a play commissioned just for them.

Playwright Daniel Macdonald is crazy busy this month with two shows opening within days of each other. Along with Blow Wind out in Meacham, Macdonald’s Radiant Boy is also hitting the stage. For this show Macdonald collaborated with Grade 12 student Marion Graham and composer Deanna Stockdale to create a musical about being your true self. Radiant Boy – A Hip Hop Musical is the story of 6 year old Geoffery who decides he wants to wear a pink tutu to his first day of school. The bullying that results sticks with him through his life and as an adult, he decides to fight back against it. This is a story about the confidence to just be yourself. Tickets are $16.
