THE SHOWGIRL
BY MATTHEW LOVERANES
Harlem, 1979. The lead dancer at the seedy studio soul has just been found dead, and rookie detective John Gonzales is called in to investigate her murder. But what starts as a routine case turns into an obsession as John's world blurs into a surreal landscape of secrets, sex and soul music. Red Scare's first play without an original score, The Showgirl nevertheless made use of a wide selection of disco-era hit songs.
