๐ŸฆŒ "no one was dancing, but I saw the choreography in my head. I saw the whole ballet...because the writing was so rich..."

In a recent conversation, dancer, choreographer, and life coach Aubrey Lynch II reflected on the first staged reading of Deer Blind with our Business Manager Lane McLeod Jackson. No movement had been choreographed yetโ€”but the language, the tension, and the stillness hinted at something aching to move.
Now, movement arrives.

Synopsis:
Tab and Donnel sit in an elevated hunting stand on a hayfield in Oklahoma. After Donnel questions Tab about his use of a rifle during bow season, Tab confides in Donnel about his stagnant marriage. Meanwhile, Tabโ€™s wife Billie meets a yet-to-be identified lover. Unseen by the hunters and lovers, a trio of whitetail deer express the ecstasy and agony of mating season through the art of dance.
