Exit Dance Theatre will be part of The Actors Studio of Newburyport’s HERstory Month Fundraiser. The show will feature new choreography, dance films (produced during Covid), and text by writers Blake Hammond, and Newburyport’s own Will Mombello. Special guest, award winning poet, Diannely Antigua, will be reading her work as well. Antigua’s poems have been described as “beautifully disturbing” and “dangerously alive”.

New choreography by Fontaine Dollas Dubus, Erin Staffiere and Jen Steeves, among others, centers around themes of societal struggles, faith, and the Southern Italian ritual dance of the Tarantella.

Performers are: Fontaine Dubus, Wendy Durham, Nicole Duquette, Sarah George, Erin Staffiere, Jen Steeves, Yori Thomas, Anna Wallack, Julie Pike, Kayla Waldron, Edward Speck and special appearances by Elyse Brown and Victoria Grinnings.
