Arts on the Lake is proud to host a new production bringing Detra Denise to the Center.
Ms. Denise is a New York-based performer and storyteller with over 20 acclaimed shows in New York City. She’s best known for her deeply personal work, rooted in her “Humans of New York” journey, where she bravely shared her life’s trials and triumphs.
With this performance, Denise debuts her newest one-woman play, A Time to Dance, a lyrical exploration of resilience, transformation, and the power of stepping into one’s own rhythm. With each performance, Detra invites audiences to see life anew—daring them to dance through their own challenges.
