SHARING A THEATRICAL MOMENT: THROUGH MANY EYES WE SEE AS ONE

The Dream of a Ridiculous Man is a vibrant, imaginative piece of theatre. Beyond a dazzling artistic edge, our creatives are striving to make a wonderful impact on communities and ultimately, the world. While the piece explores some of our most existential challenges, it also offers “reframes” these struggles to showcase rich beauty and a sincere hope for our future. Although the vision is already somewhat realized in pre-production, the creation process of the show itself will be fully achieved through compassionate ensemble building, and collaboration. Servant leadership, equality, and deep listening are paramount behind the scenes and in the theatre, to allow our "Field of Dreams" moment to unlock its fullest potential.

Play Synopsis: When a disillusioned man struggling with mental health contemplates death by suicide, a chance encounter from a young neighbor in need catapults him into a crucifixion of ego. What begins as a simmering direct address progressively breaks into a medium-expanding thrill ride of dynamic sensory awareness. Our narrator experiences a glimpse of paradise, and a hell of his own creation both of which redefine this ridiculous man’s journey forever.

Run time: Approx 120 Min plus 15 Min intermission. Not recommended for children under 13 due to mild language, dramatic themes, and scenes of a frightening nature.
