A friend recommended a book to me, saying, \u201cI think this would make a great piece for you.\u201d As someone with a learning disability, it took me quite some time to finally sit down and read the short story. However, once I did, I was immediately captivated by Dawn Powell\u2019s prose and her detailed characterizations. The words seemed to grab hold of me, and I couldn\u2019t put it down.<\/p><p>Adapting Powell\u2019s words, I found that though Morry is the book's protagonist, my heart was drawn to Elsinore. Her story resonated with me, pushing me to tell it through dance\u2014our shared escape from reality. I brought together a team to help develop the piece, but like Elsinore, I lost my voice and struggled to find the right way to present our journey. As time passed and the license to develop the piece expired, our team dispersed, and it was just Elsinore and I left alone.<\/p><p>Jump ahead to the pandemic when the world as we knew it suddenly stopped. Despite my aversion to ever experiencing a pandemic again, I am grateful for the opportunity it provided me. With everything closed and on pause, I was able to finally complete my undergraduate degree and even pursue an MBA. During this period, I worked on an independent study project with a supportive professor who helped foster my writing skills. I revisited DANCE NIGHT and structured it in the way I had always envisioned, finding inspiration in my talented friend Kim Sava. I obtained the rights to Dawn Powell's book and began to weave my story with hers. Lamptown Ohio became my hometown of Waltham Massechustes, the characters became a reflection of myself and my community, and everything seemed to fall perfectly into place once again.<\/p><p>Accompanied by Zev Burrows' enchanting and exquisite music, DANCE NIGHT has become the tale that I yearn to share. Each person has a history, aspirations, and moments where they wish to break free from someone or something. Stay true to your journey, stand firm on your beliefs, and narrate the story of YOUR life as you desire.

Maybe we played pretend with siblings or friends, or doodled them out in pieces of paper to turn in to our teacher or share with our classes. Back then, it felt like anything was possible. As we grew older, however, we realized that many of our fantastical dreams simply can\u2019t happen. We can\u2019t be a princess living in a castle or a superhero fighting evil\u2014we got the burdens of adulthood we need to worry about, and we end up looking back on our childhoods with nostalgia\u2014yearning for the innocence and imagination we once had.<\/p><p>Our devised piece,\u00a0<em>Daring to Dream<\/em>, returns adults back to that world of dreams, filled with infinite possibilities. Funded by the Pabst Steinmetz Foundation, the script was entirely conceived by students with and without disabilities. Over the span of fifteen days, they shared their dreams and nightmares with each other, represented them via movement pieces, and crafted surrealist art that appears as characters and worlds within our story. As a result, they collectively grew as artists, actors, and dreamers.<\/p><p>As you watch the show, we want you to embrace your childhood dreams once again, no matter how abstract or fictional they are. Follow our characters into the dream world and let your imagination go wild. And as our characters grow in their dreams and unite as a community, we ask that you join them, and relish in the comfort and freedom our own dreams give us.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<hr class=\"my-4\" \/>\n<h3 class=\"text-danger-aw mt-4\"><em>Desert Oceans<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Playwright: John Mabey | Director: Nick Bazo<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter a devastating loss, William and those left behind, question what it means to have faith and survive.

My nana gifted me this relic because she knows I collect memories like they\u2019re priceless artifacts. And they are. Inside the mysterious box was a treasure trove of writings from my sister - no longer alive but still speaking through the stories and poetry she wrote in Spanish and English. I used some of her words to create the poem at the start of this play, like puzzle pieces coming together for a picture not completely in focus. Or maybe the pieces just didn\u2019t connect at all. Either way, blending her words with mine was a way of writing something \u2018with\u2019 her across time. And when I was ready, these lines of poetry became the guides for each scene in <em>Desert Oceans<\/em>, bringing the overall picture of the play into focus.<\/p><p>From there, I drew on inspirations from my own life as well as family artifacts dating back to my papa\u2019s immigration to this country. Moments in this play thread back to these treasures, forming a tapestry that\u2019s full of beautiful contradictions \u2013 smooth &amp; sharp, happy &amp; sad, light &amp; dark \u2013 all at the same time. I write a lot about queer joy, and that also feels like a beautiful contradiction in the world sometimes - but queer joy is always there if you know where to look. The characters in this play are on a similar journey. And through them, I\u2019ve realized that the puzzle pieces that never seem to fit, just might belong to a different box altogether. I hope some pieces from this play also find their way to connect with you, just waiting to be discovered.<\/p><p>---------------------------<\/p><p><u>The Trevor Project: suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ youth<\/u><br \/><em>Call 1-866-488-7386<br \/>Text \u2018start\u2019 to 678-678<\/em><\/p><p><u>Suicide &amp; Crisis lifeline<\/u><br \/><em>Call 988<br \/>Text 988<\/em><\/p><hr \/><h2 class=\"text-center text-secondary my-3\">Dramaturg's Note<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In John Mabey\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Desert Oceans,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mabey explores a world of opposites. Throughout the play, audiences find that things in opposition often come together to create something new. Being brave and afraid are tied together like a knot, while hellos and goodbyes often look the same. Grief and community come together to create hope, and one can find strength in religion and sexuality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many LGBT+ community members feel rejection and hate from religion. Lack of support from the church often leads to dismissal of religion entirely. In<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Desert Oceans<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Mabey subverts this expectation. These characters find solace and connection through faith, despite their struggles. Religion is not something to be feared, but something to be cherished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As you watch, pay attention to the opposing forces.

Writing provides an opportunity to process the chaos and absurdity and overwhelm in life. The act synthesizes, organizes, and uncovers thoughts and feelings I didn\u2019t realize I had. But playwriting is not an independent endeavor. Even as a solo writer, it is an act of collaboration with the cast, the creative team, the spectator.<\/p><p>The development of a new piece is a strange unwieldy journey. It\u2019s an abridged nomadic lifetime, gathering companions as you go, exchanging what you can in your few precious moments together, and then allowing you and your work to be changed by the brief encounter. It\u2019s a lesson in creating a life.<\/p><p><em>What\u2019s in Store<\/em>\u00a0has been developed by five ensembles\u2014 in Colorado, Oklahoma, New Jersey, California and now, Florida. Quite a spread. Various themes emerged in different areas of the country. Various themes emerged as I evolved in my own life. This is to say that creating a play takes time, it takes investment, it takes a lot of strangers who are willing to show up and show up again, and dedicate their time and expertise and problem-solving and patience and fortitude and willingness and care to a single baby project. In a way, it is a microcosm for building a world, and hopefully a better one.<\/p><p>This is why organizations like Pegasus Play Lab are so integral to the future of the American Theatre. If we truly want to create a more thoughtful, more inclusive, more representative canon \u2014 if we truly want to foster new voices, different perspectives and innovative storytelling, it requires all of us. Because we are all participants in the world we create. And I think the question I am always after is: <em>how, even in the most challenging of times, can we make it better?\u00a0<\/em><\/p><hr \/><h2 class=\"text-center text-secondary my-3\">DIRECTOR'S NOTE<\/h2><p>The idea of community is prescient right now.\u00a0 The world is in flux.\u00a0 Inflation is making the classic American individualism difficult to maintain.\u00a0\u00a0 Rising rates of depression and anxiety have been correlated with hours spent on social media platforms - these digital spaces that connect us through screens rather than physical proximity.\u00a0 We are working harder than ever, but we are missing social support and belonging.<\/p><p>In her book <em>Belonging: A culture of place<\/em>, scholar and activist bell hooks writes, \u201cSearching for a place to belong I make a list of what I will need to create firm ground. At the top of the list I write: \u2018I need to live where I can walk. I need to be able to walk to work, to the store, to a place where I can sit and drink tea and fellowship. Walking, I will establish my presence as one who is claiming the earth, creating a sense of belonging, a culture of place.\u2019\u201d<\/p><p><em>What\u2019s in Store<\/em> gives us a peek into what it might be like if these concepts of walking to work and fellowship were contained, idyllically, under one roof. As the show progresses, we see Jaycee, Mavis, and Geri create community and create their own \"culture of place.\"\u00a0 In true capitalist fashion, this magical place is found within a stylish furniture store.<\/p><p>In alignment with the premise of stylish furniture stores, in the 2022 \u201cLife at Home Report\u201d by Ikea, Ikea shares research indicating that an ideal home is \"a place where we can cast off our shoes, wipe the stresses from our minds and zero in on the things that bring us joy and satisfaction.\u201d\u00a0 Playwright Kate Brennan frames DuKTiG as just such a haven, and likens it to OZ - a microcosm for an ideal community.\u00a0 Her main character, Jaycee, initiates a slide into this utopia and draws the rest of us into her reality.\u00a0 Unlike fairy tales, there is no witch or Big Bad Wolf at the end of her journey.\u00a0 In the style of current shows like Ted Lasso, our characters choose to seek grounding over conflict.<\/p><p>Brennan\u2019s script invites us to imagine the framework presented as a true alternative to the frameworks that currently dictate our lives.<\/p><hr \/><h2 class=\"text-center text-secondary my-3\">Dramaturg's Note<\/h2><p>Kate Brennan has referred to her play <em>What\u2019s in Store <\/em>as \u201ca love letter to humanity.\u201d Her characters come together from different backgrounds with lived experiences that leave them searching for connection in each other through the comfort of the cozy corner of the world they\u2019ve curated in the DuKTiG furniture store. In rehearsals together we leaned into the Swedish practice of lagom, meaning \u201ceverything in moderation.\u201d This refers to work, responsibilities, and every day commitments as it does to pleasure and play. Engaging in lagom invites us to invest in building community connections that are unconditional and reciprocated through mutual respect and love.
