Do You Dance, Ms. Parker?

by Matt Summers

Directed by Kristen Brooks Sandler

Produced by Lauren Bambino , Harlot Productions

Starring Joyah Spangler & Matt Summers

The daydreams of a modern day writer bring him to a 1920's speakeasy where he finds himself infatuated with a woman- the quick witted, dark, and alluring Dorothy Parker. The two soon enter a dance of rhetoric mimicked by the choreography of the other patrons, creating a fantastical world which implores this man to stop yearning for the past and start live in the present.
