DREAM SAILORS

July 17- August 17, 2008

EPISODE 1: Jakob’s Fence
EPISODE 2: The Princess and the Dervish
EPISODE 3: Garuda’s Flight
EPISODE 4: The Traveler

Four friends, drawn together by their uniquely powerful ability to lucid dream, awaken to make a grim discovery in their basement. Their worlds turned upside down, they must return to the dark landscape of their dreams for answers.

The play unfolded “episodically” in four parts, with a new hour-long play premiering every week.

SEASON 8 was sponsored in part by Mark & Cindy Aron, The Dobranski Foundation and Pete Miller & Sara Cormeny.

“A hallucinatory, pop-culture-savvy, romantic quasi-mystery…part nightmare, part thriller, part fairy tale, part wartime coming-of-age saga”

PRESS

"Actors Tony Bullock, Rex Daugherty, Lindsay Hanes, Casie Platt, and Grady Weatherford are doing excellent, convincing work with Shane Wallis a standout among the rest of the ensemble. As all dreamers know, dreams aren’t static. These flash by, melt and merge into one another thanks to the creative team: Colin Hovde contributes great casting and brisk pacing; set designer Hannah J. Crowell designed a series of panels strung with what look like dried rice noodles (but aren’t) guided by quick footed stage hands, which quickly sluice through the front stage forming different slices of space; and the eerie quality to the dream and waking states are made vivid by the lighting and sound designs (John Burkland and Christopher Baine respectively)."
