Roger Weems, recently returned from Vietnam, meets Nina Reynolds, an African American student activist, during a Kent State rally. A one-night stand becomes a ten-year journey as Rog and Nina navigate a relationship against the backdrop of a turbulent decade. Ten scenes set against various social events of the 70s provide a glimpse into a country trying to find itself, and two people trying to find their place in it.

"Joe Zettelmaier's The Decade Dance, which feels as comfy as a pair of worn Hush Puppies, takes theatergoers on a nostalgic journey through the 1970s while exploring the on-again, off-again romantic relationship between a black social activist and a white Vietnam vet." - John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

“A solidly written play with drama and humor. The social, political and racial environment of America in the 1970s plays out in the lives go an on again/off again interracial couple. The characters take center stage here but the social issues drive much of their action and interaction.” - Ralph Meranto
