AMERICAN DREAMS - A New Musical
Was Democracy Just a Dream?
Subject of the show:
The American Dream. It used to mean a job, a house, a car, a spouse, 2.5 kids, and a .4 dog. But what does it mean now? For some it is a good tide raising all boats, for others it is a tsunami that destroys everything.
For some it is unity, for others it is dissolution. A handshake or a gun. One citizen’s dream has become another’s nightmare, and those who fan the flames of the differences will gladly profit while democracy burns.
Short Synopsis:
As a Black man tired of failed Liberal promises Gabriel Pearse is ready to give up. But will a Conservative victory be his dream come true? For his daughter, Paine, it’s a nightmare! Or will the climate catch fire before the election, like her boyfriend Max sees when he sleeps. And what about AI? And do androids dream of electronic voting? Or was democracy just a dream all along? But whether you’re asleep or Woke what some see as nightmares others see as… American Dreams.
