New Work for..... Dixon Place Presents The Village, a Disco Musical! by Nora Burns OCTOBER 6, 7, 8 ,13, 14 & 15, 2022 AT 7:30PM Set in New York City in 1979, though we bounce around and break 4th walls, 5th dimensions and every theater rule in the book, The Village is loosely based on Our Town (if Thornton Wilder was living on Christopher St. many moons ago), and centers around Trade, a hustler living in “Old George’s” apartment, who brings home his latest trick, Steve, an earnest NYU student, as a crazy collage of characters come by to drink, drug, flirt, dream and dish about love, life, death and taxis, and of course break out into daring disco dance numbers. The Village is a fabulous funny fete filled with high jinx, low kinks, soft core porn, rock hard abs and a bodacious display of disco dancing. For anyone who needs a hand as they crawl out of their pandemic ptsd, The Village offers a life-affirming lift, full of love, life friendship, fantasy, fashion and fun. It’s a valentine to youth, age, spirit, New York City and Donna Summer.
