Tomorrow night we bring Molly Gawler to the stage...

Molly started her circus arts career with PILOBOLUS. Come see her tomorrow night at the Rockport Opera House!

Molly Gawler began working with Pilobolus Dance Theater in 2006, and soon thereafter, she was featured on the Oscars, performing in a shadow dance piece in the Academy Awards television broadcast of 2007. She originated the lead role in Pilobolus’s “Shadowland,” a full-length show that toured internationally. She then turned her attention to circus, studying Cyr Wheel and Rope at the New England Center for Circus Arts. She currently resides in Monroe, Maine, with her husband Lao and tends to a small vegetable garden.
