    Florence tells the story of Florence Lawrence, America's "First Movie Star." Through physical theatre, dance, and video, Florence explores fame, old Hollywood, and what it truly means to be remembered. Expect to see actors literally swinging from the rafters of the historic Sparky Park substation. Florence is also filled with Shakespeare, Kanye West, exhaustion, chaos, glamour, and much much more.
