Directed by Frank Kohel and starring Sharry O'Hare and Michael O'Hara, Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks is a delightful and modern story of an older woman, Lily, who has signed up for dance lessons. Her instructor, Michael, shows up to her apartment in St. Petersburg Beach, Fla. and is so abrasive and offensive that Lily calls the dance studio manager. Michael manages to convince her - with tales of his sick wife - that he must not lose this job. Amazingly Lily relents, even though Michael has expressed that he thinks she is a "tight a**ed, old biddy."

There will be a special "Toast to Sharry O'Hare" on Sunday, Feb. 21 - including reception at 6 p.m. with desserts, spirits and live music. The celebration of O'Hare will really kick off at 6:45 p.m. with friends and family taking the stage to share stories.
