our/history
stop/time dance theater started with a dream. According to founder Darlene Zoller, "Throughout my career, I’d seen wonderful dancers passed over because they weren’t great singers, or they had the wrong hair color, or were too skinny or too curvy or too quiet or too anything! As time moved along, I realized that I had a dream -- a dream in which all dancers are given their due. This dream lead to a show; and that show led to us, a company that truly embodies the term “group effort.” The most precious gift I have received is the unconditional love, dedication and hard work of every person involved. We’re a fledgling company with energy, enthusiasm, an abundance of talent – and each member of this company has their own dream. Who knows where it will all lead."
stop/time's first production was "my show" which was presented in 2004 in both the Spring and Fall. Darlene immediately got busy and began work on "Remember When..." which was performed in April, 2005. The group's third original production, "Wish You Were Here", debuted in May, 2006. The fourth original production, "L.O.V.E. Radio", made its bow in May, 2007. For the company's fifth anniversary, an office-inspired show made its debut in 2008: "Take This Job And...Dance It". For 2009, an encore performance of the company's first production my show, is being staged in the same venue where it all began. And in many ways, it's a new beginning for Darlene and the people who bring you stop/time dance theater.
