Daydream Theatre Company Presents the World Premiere of THE INSIDE OF HIS SEVERED HEAD

By:

Daydream Theatre Company Presents the World Premiere of THE INSIDE OF HIS SEVERED HEAD ImageDaydream Theatre Company is proud to announce the world premiere of the new musical "The Inside Of His Severed Head, Book by Lenny Schwartz and Music and Lyrics by Duncan Pflaster. The play will be directed by Lenny Schwartz with Musical Direction by Zachary Smallwood with choreography by Chelsea Cook.

The show will be performed May 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19 2018 at the Rise Playhouse at 142 Clinton St, Woonsocket RI. All shows are at 8pm. Tickets are $15 Dollars and can be purchased at the door or at smarttix.com

This comedic musical is about Willy Loman, an aging vampire hunter, who realizes his life is empty and he tries to fill it in the last 24 hours of his life. It is a musical about happiness, family, lies, love, and mental illness. And of course, killing some members of the undead.

It's Death of a Salesman as a musical....if Willy Loman was a vampire hunter!

"I always wanted to do a musical. And I always wanted it to be a parody of something familiar to theater patrons but at the same time new and accessible to all," Schwartz says of the musical. "It's the Death of the American Dream...with the undead!"

The play stars Rhode Island veteran actor Michael Thurber(as well as Artistic Director at the Theater Company of Rhode Island) as Willy Loman, a man who reflects the modern American man. Victoria Paradis returns to the stage after a hiatus to star as his wife Lin, in a portrait of the modern American woman.

The play also stars Ryan Mckenna and Derek Launderau as Biff and Mopey, and some of the finest talent New England has to offer.

The play will be traveling to New York City this summer as it has been accepted to the 2018 Planet Connections Theatre Festivity!
