About the Play

>> ‘The Panther Dancer
>> By Logan Cutler Smith
>> Directed by Jimmie Woody

>> Performances May 11 - 26, 2018

>> ‘The Panther Dancer’ is an innovative new play that digs deep beneath
the iconicity of a childlike American star. A series of inventive,
offbeat-but-affecting vignettes, this knowing satire explores how a
monolithic entertainer was created by our culture and, in turn, how he
redirected that culture towards his own conflicting ends. ‘The Panther
Dancer’ follows a young wonder as he strives to become, in his own person,
the very greatest show on earth. Tracing the arc of his campaign, the play
becomes a playful synthesis of biography and tabloid journalism–a sidelong
glance at a meteoric rise and a catastrophic fall. Come along for this
portrait of a timeless pop archetype rendered flatly, mattely, and in
fast-forward. Find more info on the play at
