The first show in Upstream Theater's celebratory 20th Season, LIFE IS A DREAM is the professional premiere of a new translation by G.J. Racz of this Spanish classic by Pedro Calderón de la Barca.
Pedro Calderón de la Barca's best-known drama follows the journey of Prince Segismundo, who was imprisoned at birth due to a prophecy.

A play of enduring relevance in an age filled with political uncertainty. Directed by Philip Boehm.
