“Dream big!”

“Dare to dream!”

“If you can dream it you can do it!”

Pithy and joyous quotes inspiring us to pursue our dreams have resounded across space and time – but have you ever tried it? It can be a difficult path, especially when the world seems to have other plans for you. Dreaming big takes courage, curiosity, and imagination – but it often takes support from the outside world as well. What would it take to create a world in which everyone is free to pursue a dream?

In one of our boldest seasons yet, ArtsWest explores the pursuit of dreams through five distinctly different lenses. Featuring Tony and Pulitzer prize winning playwrights, searing comedy, beloved music, and touching humanity, it’s a season designed to subvert expectations at every turn as we dream, dance, laugh, cry – and keep moving into the future together.

This is our third season curated in collaboration with a team of ArtsWest Associate Artists. This year, the group was comprised of ArtsWest’s phenomenal staff: Stephon Dorsey, Athena Duran, Rachel Ewen, Corinne Park-Buffelen, Zenaida Smith, and Mathew Wright.
