In a dusty church hall, ex-professional dancer Mavis Turner holds her weekly tap class. Every Thursday, in stumbles her well-intentioned but not overly talented troupe – the awkward but hugely enthusiastic Lynne, snooty Vera, streetwise Maxine and the rest of the group – all brought together to dance as if no one is watching, and hopefully no-one ever will! That’s until they’re invited to perform at a charity gala. As disbelief is replaced by sheer terror, can this bunch of amateurs pull together and put on the performance of a lifetime?

For twenty-five years, STEPPING OUT has delighted audiences with its heart-warming and timelessly funny story which proves that in dancing, as in life, it’s always better to follow your own tune.

Brian Capron, known to millions for his award-winning portrayal of the sinister Richard Hillman in Coronation Street, plays the bumbling but lovable Geoffrey, whose mid-life crisis might just bring with it some mid-life reward.

Anita Harris, one of the brightest singing sensations of the ‘60s, and famously set pulses racing as Nurse Clarke in Carry On Doctor plays everybody’s favourite snob Vera.
