MONSTER MAKERS will star:
- Leo Ash Evens (Broadway's Jesus Christ Superstar, Shuffle Along)
- Russell Fischer (Broadway's JERSEY BOYS)
- Stephen Dolginoff
- Camille Diamond
- Swings are RYan Lind, Rebecca Sonia and Jordan Zauha.

Directed by Bernard J Solomon: Dream Theater, Executive Artistic Director. Musically directed by Zach Orts.

A musical triple-feature inspired by three monstrously true, behind-the-scenes tales of the most famous monster movies in cinema history! Written by Drama Desk Nominated, International composer Stephen Dolginoff (Thrill Me, Flames).

In 1920s Germany, director F.W. Murnau fears he may lose a lawsuit brought by the estate of Bram Stoker over his silent vampire film Nosferatu, which is suspiciously similar to Dracula. Will all of the prints be destroyed? In 1930s Hollywood, make-up man Jack Pierce works carefully to create the defining look for Frankenstein's monster while trying to meet the demands of the studio. Will he get the credit he deserves?

In 1970s England, actor Peter Cushing hopes to be able to finish the final British sequels to Frankenstein and Dracula before outside forces threaten to get in the way. Will his horror fans be disappointed? Will all of these men triumph while fighting for their art against the various demons they must face? As these famous monster makers each discover -- sometimes real life can be even more frightening than the movies!

Dream Theater Productions mission is to help aspiring performers gain valuable performance credits and experience while establishing themselves within the New York Theater community. Each Dream Theater Productions features 4 - 5 Actors' Equity Members while the remaining cast is comprised of age appropriate, non-equity performers who will be earning Equity Points as well as a salary in which they can support themselves. In addition, each production will donate 400 tickets to under privileged families in the local NJ/NYC area. We are housed out of The New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ. Our eventual goal is to produce 6 main stage productions a year, each running 7 - 8 weeks.
