New Musical "Weightless" Debuts at The Gural Theatre During the 2025 Next Step Festival
Image: https://authoritypresswire.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/New-York-Weighless-Laura-Clancy.png
Written by Laura Clancy [https://www.muffintoppled.com/] & Trynne Paris [https://trynneparis.com/], with music and lyrics by Laura Clancy & Drew Lawrence [https://www.drewlawrencemusic.com/], this one-woman cabaret-style show traces a transformative journey from being the "fat cheerleader" to becoming a confident, award-winning powerlifter who discovers that true weightlessness comes from shedding emotional baggage, not just pounds.
Through three distinctly voiced characters, performer Laura Clancy embodies different phases of her life: Amy G'Dala (the anxious child), Sabes T'Tigre (the young overconfident achiever), and Joi D'Vivre (the wise narrator with hard-won perspective). The intimate cabaret format features standout songs including "B.S.," "Mother's Nature," and the empowering anthem "Three White Lights."
What began as a shallow goal - never returning to a high school reunion as the 'fat cheerleader' - became a journey of shedding limiting beliefs, finding strength in vulnerability and laughing through life's unexpected plot twists.
The production explores universal themes through deeply personal storytelling, addressing topics like:
* Confronting negative self-talk and family expectations
* Finding power - physically and emotionally - through strength training
* Using humor to navigate personal crises
* Rejecting toxic beauty standards
* Embracing authentic self-expression
Admission is free for these staged readings, but reservations are required due to limited seating. Festival passes and individual reservations can be made at www.nextsteptheatrefest.com.
