Her Dream, a Pen, and a Book
By Morganna Grim
Directed by Morganna Grim, with original music composed and performed by Baltimore Krahn, and choreography by Loryn Jonelis
"Let's start where it's simplest to look: with a girl, her Dream, a pen, and a book."
Welcome to Cape Cache, a village cursed centuries ago to remain apathetic and complacent against the trials and joys of the world. Along with this infliction came the mysterious Dreams, guardians from another world to inspire children as they grow up. With their guidance, everything should be in order - but the scales are tipped when families reject the Dreams, and the solemn Corvid swoops in to steal them away. Catry of Cache and Todd the Dream set out to reunite a lost pair in a whimsical fantasy tale of goodwill, hope, and sacrifice.
Produced by Broom Street Theater at Broom Street Theater, 1119 Williamson Street, Madison
Performances: July 13-29, 2017
