Stepping Out (Helen Oakleigh is playing comedy role Sylvia)

Performances were at The Kings Theatre on 23rd and 24th October 2006 at 7.30pm. Well done to the whole cast and crew and production team behind Stepping Out.

Stepping Out is a warm and funny play about the lives, lust and loves of a group of women (and one man) attending a weekly tap dancing class in a dingy North London Church Hall.  There is ex professional dancer Mavis who runs the class; cheerfully gobby Silvia; snobby Vera; timid Dorothy; attractive Maxine; plain Lynne; Rose, loud and warm hearted and Geoffrey the lone male. As the play progresses, the class of dancing improves to such an extent that by the climax, a grand charity show performance they have been transformed into triumphant tapers worthy of any chorus line!
