They can become interchangeable: the fear of never attaining the dream and the dream of overcoming an intimate fear. The Swings At Balfour is a light, amusing drama about both and the prospect of never finding either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a private, all-girls high school located in the northeastern part of the United States, as far away from a hostile environment as Pluto is from Earth, the Deans, the staff, and the students do, and are expected to, march to a different beat through the process of understanding the strength of the curriculum as well as the fragile weaknesses of themselves. Perhaps, those are interchangeable, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor one of the Deans of the school and for one of the students, a dream and a fear are found to be the same when they meet, co-exist in a challenging, poignant and often humorous struggle, and finally collide in an uplifting story of their search to find both at the swings at Balfour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fall term is about to begin and classes are in session.
