About the performance:
Monica Bill Barnes & Company is thrilled to return to San Diego Dance Theater/Light Box Theater to workshop their newest show. Many Happy Returns brings us back to the theater to celebrate what it means to gather.

Created by Robbie Saenz de Viteri and Monica Bill Barnes, "Many Happy Returns" combines language and movement that reflect back on the internal interactions that populated our pandemic minds and celebrate the awkward first steps as we move forward and decide again, who do we want to be now? Many Happy Returns is a work in progress, much like ourselves in this moment, and will change with each performance based on the audience each night.

"Many Happy Returns was an absolute artistic balm in these complex times. I have never worked on a piece of art that has been so connected to the current moment, that was able to meet the nervousness and complication of gathering in space with a generous, open, celebratory spirit that moved audiences to tears...It was so moving to watch the audience experience the joy of the piece, the reminder of why we gather, why we share art together, and to be reminded myself..." --Lisa McNulty, Artistic Director of New York City's Off Broadway theater, WP Theater
