Part rock opera, part impressionist tone poem set in the nightclubs and art world of 1979 New York City, This Ain’t No Disco interweaves the stories of strivers, dreamers and drifters searching for their place at Studio 54 and Mudd Club, the art scene and downtown lofts. In their uptown/downtown quest for revelry and kinship, this disparate group, in different stages of becoming and falling apart, find themselves and each other in a city on the verge of a massive cultural shift.
When This Ain’t No Disco debuted at Atlantic Theater Company in 2018, directed by Darko Tresnjak and choregraphed by Camille A. Brown, it was hailed as “a high energy, glitter-ball decked celebration,” by New York Magazine. The Wrap praised the show’s “excellent score. Trask and Yanowitz show a gift for melody. Their wordplay never fails to dazzle.”
