God's daughter comes down to earth to experience what it is to be human. Feasting on the fruits of civilization, she discovers marriage, family, education, politics, war and religion. Will she ever awaken from her dream? This outrageous and hilarious reworking of Strindberg's classic, A Dream Play follows the crazy wisdom of the subconscious on a journey into and beyond the insanity of modern life.

Directed by Fred Curchack, an internationally acclaimed performer, director, and playwright. He has created over seventy original theatre works. Dallas Morning News critic Lawson Taitte proclaims him to be “Dallas’ resident theatrical wizard.” Curchack’s recent piece, Gauguin’s Shadow, received the Dallas/Ft. Worth Theatre Critics' award for Best New Play.

Fred Curchack has created over seventy original theatre pieces. His performances have been featured at dozens of international theatre festivals. He has received the Gold Medal at the International Festival of Solo Theatre, the American Theatre Wing Award, Critics’ Awards in L.A., S.F., Dallas, Austin, and his work has been in the “Top Ten” of The Dallas Morning News and The New York Times. He has received funding from Creative Capital, the National Endowment for the Arts, Arts International, The Jim Henson Foundation and he is a Guggenheim Fellow. After receiving a drama degree from the High School of Performing Arts in N.Y., and a BA and MA in Theater from Queens College, Curchack studied Indian Kathakali, Japanese Noh, Balinese Topeng, choreography with Alwyn Nikolais, and he trained with Grotowski’s Polish Theater Lab.
