Steven Meeker/Sarah Flaim and Co at the Egg!
Yay! Upcoming – at the Dragon’s Egg, from August 2-5, and 16-19.
SMJ (Steven Meeker Jr.) – Book & Lyrics / Sarah Flaim – Music / Allison Acuff – Director
The creative team of At the Barre will be coming to the Dragon’s Egg for eight days to develop brand-new songs, overhaul the book, and develop movement vocabulary for the show with a goal towards staging a concert reading in NYC this coming fall.
At the Barre is a musical in two acts that combines musical theater with indie pop as well as mime, ballet, stage combat, clown, and contemporary dance. Catherine, a talented principal dancer at ABT with the weight of the world on her shoulders, and Shawn, a non-binary, overweight mime with self-esteem issues, are thrust into each other’s lives after an insane audition. Navigating the format of a Golden Age love story, At the Barre focuses on how one finds their beauty, finds peace within themselves, and finds a genuine connection in a cluttered and overly talkative world.
SMJ is a graduate of Otterbein University with a BFA in Acting and Minor in Dance.
Sarah Flaim is a graduate of the University of the Arts with a BFA in Musical Theatre.
Allison Acuff is a graduate of Asbury University with a BA in Theatre/Cinema Performance and BA in English.
All are alums of the National Theater Institute.
