Many Happy Returns

A woman sits in a folding chair with 3 empty chairs next to her. The room looks decorated for a party. Manny Rotenberg


Monica Bill Barnes & Company, known for "bringing dance where it doesn't belong" present "Many Happy Returns." It's like a memory play, if memory plays had more dances. There is language. There is movement. There is the possibility that it'll never be this way again. And there's the possibility that it will always be the same.
