Mind Dream Theater To Premiere Season Of Episodic Audio Plays By Experimental Theater Artists

mind dream theater, a new DIY "property-less" audio theater, will produce brand new experimental audio plays as an accessible path for experimental artists to create low-stakes work that is high-imagination. In addition to addressing the scarcity of space and resources in theater, mind dream hopes to be a home for experimental work to thrive by sharing it widely through digital resources and expand notions of what a "venue" may be.

mind dream will release the very first season of its flagship show "Mind Dream Theater" with episodes by Theresa Buchheister, Rawya El Chab, Devon Wade Granmo, Elijah Guo, Jerrod Jordahl, kanishk pandey, and Catherine Weingarten.

Titled "It Is Happening Again" - Season 1 will begin February 2, 2026 and premiere a new episode every week.

All episodes will premiere on www.minddreamtheater.com and wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Season 2, to be released in Summer 2026, will include episodes by Nic Adams, Leonie Bell, Allyson Dwyer, Alyssa Haddad-Chin, Ben Holbrook, Kenneth Keng and Caridad Svich, centered around "America 250" or the "semiquincentennial" of the United States.
