THE SCTG PRESENTS…

DANCE THIS MESS AROUND

Written and Directed by Broderick Miller

DANCE THIS MESS AROUND

New York City, 1974. The punk rock revolution is in its early stages, evolving as a reaction to mainstream music, disco conformity, capitalism, the lies of the Nixon administration, and the corporate branding of America, Spearheaded by artists, musicians, writers, poets, journalists, designers, and kids in the streets, the punk movement is raw, authentic, defiant.

Ground zero for the punk rock movement was the legendary CBGB Club, which quickly became the “it spot” for American punk acts like the Ramones, Patti Smith, Blondie, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, Television, The Police, Sonic Youth, Joan Jett, and many more.

Against this historic and colorful backdrop, the SCTG presents “Dance This Mess Around,” a rebellious music/comedy/drama that explores the music, fashions, politics, and personalities that defined the New York punk rock era.

All the roles in the play are iconic characters from the NYC punk scene - meaning our actors will be playing true life figures including Lou Reed, Andy Warhol, Debbie Harry, Nico, Vivienne Westwood, David Byrne, Iggy Pop, and some fun surprises.
