Ballroom dancing, memories, nostalgia, and fun! Directed by Jim Robertson by Bill Petros

February 9-10, 16-17, 23-24, 2001

From David Cannon in The Montgomery Sentinel "THE SNOW BALL" EFFECT IS RIVETING AT THE CHEVY CHASE PLAYERS "In many ways this is (Gurney's) trickiest play to pull off but CCP is currently mounting the best version I've seen of this work so far..." "Director Jim Robertson manages to hit the right tone for this slippery play. It has to nostalgic, but somewhat frazzled around the edges. He generally strikes that tone dead on , thanks to his large but talented cast...." "The set design by John Vandegriff is simple but highly functional, allowing the large cast to quickly move on and off the stage, while still allowing for small touches like the occasional snow fall effect. Richard Gabriel's lighting helps with the time and mood transitions throughout. And of course Thomas Bevans must e mentioned for all his work as ballroom dance instructor, which is so critical in a play like this. It's not easy to dance well, and even harder to dance "poorly" on purpose." "...overall a strong and well done production. CCP makes this play look easier to pull off than it really is. This is not a heavy drama, but 'THE SNOW BALL' MAY BE THE MOST SERIOUS AND THOUGHT PROVOKING COMEDY YOU'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME"

Ballroom dance choreography and original dance music by Thomas Bevans.
