    Forklift Danceworks is reprising its sold-out summer show SKATE! A Night at the Rink March 5th and 8th at Playland Skate Center. Aptly described by The Austin Chronicle as "a big wet kiss to the communal experience of roller-skating" The cast includes adults of all ages (oldest skater is 71!) and includes local jam skaters, competitive figure skaters, and even a few rollergirls. Audiences members sit right on the rink to experience close-up the thrill and joy of skating, and the show concludes with a grand all-skate where audience members are invited to join the cast out on the rink. Advance purchase tickets strongly encouraged. This show sold-out upon its premier in July 08.
