REVERIES: An Immersive Theatrical Experience to Play The Tank

The Tank (Meghan Finn and Rosalind Grush, Artistic Directors) will present Reveries: An Immersive Theatrical Experience at The Tank (312 West 36th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues) on February 1st, 2018 with six performances through February 4th, 2018.

Reveries is a devised exploration of the phenomenon that is dreaming. A hybrid of installation art, movement, music, and theatre, Reveries presents a collaborative effort to stimulate its audience's imagination by immersing them in five pieces that reflect the complexity of our dreams and our various interpretations of them.

The production is directed by Ali Jamali, Calley Luman, Chris Goodrich, Elvin James Patrick, and Orlando Rodriguez with a cast featuring Abigail Milnor-Sweetser, Bailey Van Schepen, Caroline Burke, Dana Stern, Francesca Anderson, Lluvia Almanza, Jaspreet Saund, Marguerite Frarey, Marjay Smith, Peter Qin, Rodrikus Springfield, Sophia Gutchinov, and Stephen G. Tabor.
