Times are Hard for Dreamers, produced and conceived by Natalie Kasper, is a cabaret evening celebrating the longing, rebellion, and hope of musical theater's most beloved outcasts. The show features an ensemble of New York City performers — including Julia Baddour, Ava Bates, Hannah Battersby, Julia Kim Caldwell, Heidi-Liz Johnson, Joseph Keegan, Niki Metcalf, Kayla Pérez, and others — tracing the full arc of chasing a dream through songs like "Out There," "Somewhere That's Green," and "I Can Do Better Than That." The performance takes place May 15, 2026 at The Green Room 42, with music direction and piano by Aidan S. Wells.
