DreamStreet Theatre Company has been in existence for 16 years, cultivating a unique theatre community for talented special needs performers. DreamStreet is a permanent company of 15-20 adult special needs actors, many who have been working together for well over a decade.
The improvisational and memorization work the company does pushes members' growth and creates a unique and flexible ensemble of individuals who are supportive of and trusting in each other. The multifaceted creative efforts of the company are a huge cognitive and emotional stimulus for the performers who have all grown artistically and are adept at vamping, acting, singing and dancing before a live audience.
Creative thinking and doing helps cognitive growth for all people of all ages. DreamStreet Theatre Company provides a much-needed fresh voice and alternative perspective in the world of theatre as well as cultural and community engagement with a twist.
With a permanent cast of special needs adults working with teaching artists and special guest artists in the areas of comedy, song, dance, music, and improv, DreamStreet creates and performs original musical theatre pieces. Radio Dreaming is the company's Winter 2014 show.
