The 40-Year-Old Ballerino

Chris Davis

Theater

Connect

At 40 years old, Chris Davis seizes on ballet class as a way to replace all other addictions -- drugs, alcohol, Modern Family, and the toxic tropes of 90s John Cusack movies. With only a barre for support, Fringe favorite Chris Davis mixes dance and storytelling in a 50-minute comedy that shows you change is always possible, no matter what your age.
