Tonight in Dreamland
Join us on Saturday, March 4th from 7:00-9:00 p.m. for a special sneak-peek at Tonight in Dreamland, a new play-in-progress, plus talkback with the authors, Cheri Steinkellner and Jean Houston.
An astrophysicist, an anthropologist, and an actress walk into a theater. But when a quantum shift causes their stages to converge, and their audience to vanish, the two scientists and the actress must pool their collective resources – brains, hearts, and guts – to discover how they got here, and why.
