Directed and Choreographed by Matthew Gardiner. May 8, 2012 – July 1, 2012. The award-winning musical comedy! It is 1980 in Venice, California. Legwarmers are in and roller skates are way sexy.

When she emboldens struggling artist Sonny to create the first roller disco, Kira feels the artistic pull of her own.
