Noted playwright Mark St. Germain is known for real-life figures in his fact-inspired plays namely: Camping With Henry and Tom (about Henry Ford and Thomas Edison), Freud’s Last Session (which also featured C.S. Lewis as a character), Becoming Dr. Ruth and Scott & Hem in the Garden of Allah (featuring novelists Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald). For DANCING LESSONS, Mark has written about two fictional characters in a heartfelt production that is moving, comic and sweet.
