Sweet Dreams, the new Air Supply musical, to present socially distanced workshop performance in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada!

 

Sweet Dreams is a comedic, modern day adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream set to the timeless music of Air Supply. The musical is written by Broadway’s Tony LePage (Come From Away, Rock of Ages) and Justin Matthew Sargent (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark, Rock of Ages).  The workshop performance will be presented as part of the Fredericton Playhouse InterMISSION artist in residency program. 

The InterMISSION program is geared towards turning the challenges of our current climate into opportunities. In an attempt to foster togetherness and revitalize the theatre arts in the ‘age of COVID’, the residency gives local talent the unique opportunity to work directly with Broadway professionals in their hometown. Those being mentored include students from Theatre St. Thomas, Theatre New Brunswick and St. Thomas University.  The workshop performance of Sweet Dreams will feature some of New Brunswick, Canada’s brightest performers and musicians led by seasoned NYC professionals.
