Audience favorite Suite Shel, is a suite of delightful dances inspired by the poems of Shel Silverstein.  The work includes choreography by Karen Gayle, Celine Rosenthal, and Emily Smyth Vartanian and features an original score by composer Lizzie Hagstedt. 

The work tracks a set of characters from a very young age into adulthood, and in the course of their story addresses issues of bullying and same-sex attraction in a contemporary context.  Additionally, Ms. Gayle’s new epilogue looks at how people choose from the different paths available in life, how others often point us in many different directions, and how those paths often lead the wrong way - away from joy.
