Using sets, lights, video and sound, the rooms bring the dreams of 12 playwrights to life.  At the end of A Dozen Dreams, there is a Room 13, where audiences can share their own dreams.

    About the Show     - At the start of the global pandemic, En Garde Arts asked a dozen NYC-based women playwrights, “What are you dreaming about right now?” They shared their stories of resilience and imagining a better future – dreams of flying, traveling, and grappling with what it means to be an artist right now.
