ing this topic to a young audience,
I would challenge them to talk to
a young person about what love
and family mean to them. Likely,
those definitions will appear in the
play. Literature and theatre offer
us exciting opportunities to dis-
cuss many different topics through
the eyes and world of characters.
That aesthetic distance might be
the best way to broach topics that
make some adults uncomfortable.
I would encourage those folks to
come see the play as a family!”

An Interview With
Jillian Petrie
How is dance woven into And
Then Came Tango?
It is just that, “woven.” Dance is
an integral part of this play. This
makes it quite an exciting production to not only be a part of the
creative process, but to watch as
well. The movement helps set the
tone; without it the play would be
very different.
