The Actual Dance, The Book


​"A lucid, unexpectedly uplifting, and affecting celebration of love that finds hope in despair." - Kirkus Reviews


"The result is not a staid "how to" book, but a journey that is, indeed, a dance. Metaphorically displayed and beautifully presented, The Actual Dance is an invitation not to mourn or accept defeat, but to take the first moves into a different series of actions, reactions, and understanding." - Donovan's Reviews


​Bronze Medal Winner 2022 IPPY Awards

The Actual Dance
​Is an award-winning play in the eighth year of production. It has been performed internationally, features two unique versions, with both now performed virtually.

The Actual Dance transforms the audience as they laugh, cry and then cheer. A love story with a happy ending, The Actual Dance is told through the eyes and heart of a husband as he struggles with his worst fears in what everyone expects to be his wife’s losing battle to breast cancer.

The story takes the audience on an emotional but uplifting journey that rewards them with an unexpected happy ending, and a universal, life-affirming lesson of hope and faith.
