The Transcendence Theatre Company kicked off its 2024 summer season with ‘Summertime!’ in an actual field of dreams at Fazio Field baseball park in the heart of downtown Sonoma. Now in its (lucky) 13th year, this company has certainly transcended nearly impossible obstacles to keep its vision alive. What started as a dream and a truck on a cross country RV road trip in 2010 has now evolved into a state-of-the-art full Broadway-style production year after glorious year, regardless of location. Dreams have no barriers, and powerhouse couple Amy Miller (Creative Vision Director) and Brad Surosky (Executive Director) are certainly a testament to that. Quoting Vincent van Gogh, Miller proudly exclaims, “I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” And dream big they do.
Performers included: Christina A Jones ('Day Dreaming'), Keenan D Washington ('It's Hard to Speak My Heart'), Jay Copeland ('Heal'), Matthew Sims Jr. ('Independently Owned'), Polanco Jones Jr. (original song), Anthony Murphy ('Fifty Percent'), and Amber Jackson (original song), with young singers Devin DeAngelis ('Purpose'), Spencer Orton ('Do You Remember?') and Anya Fox ('Kiny of Anything').
