Dancing in the Blue Room, written in dual timelines by J.R. Sargent, embraces the unrelenting friendship between two teenage boys nicknamed Shorty and Rabbit. Set in rural Kentucky during the fabulous fifties, but not so fabulous for gay people, this heartfelt humorous and tragic story is personified by the allure of, hot rod cars, jitterbug dancing, daredevil flying, and teenage sex. Navigating the boys’ journey through the coming-of-age years, will stir the embers of baby boomers, and enlighten generation Z to the carefree innocent times of bobby socks and rock and roll.
