DREAM

Presented by Quill Entertainment Company

Supported by Newman’s Own Foundation, Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation, Fairfield  County Community Foundation, The Leir Retreat Center, The Philip H. and Christine Lodewick Foundation, Union Savings Bank and the Wadsworth Lewis Trust Fund

Follow Mr. History, who time travels with five ethnically-diverse 8 to 12-year-olds to the past to show them history is not the boring subject they might think. DREAM is the story of the days when Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks showed us that you can fight your fight in a non-violent way and change the world. The musical excitingly dramatizes how a person can carry the beliefs and principles learned in the classroom out into the "real world," and how that one person's philosophy can transform the actions and feelings of an entire nation.
