Dean will be playing the role of Jack in this workshop production.
A new music theater piece, based upon the novel by Cara Hoffman, about a female veteran of the Iraq war, returning home to Watertown, New York. Re-entry is a disaster as Lauren Clay’s PTSD is slowly revealed, and she takes misguided action to protect her family from an enemy only she can see. In the end, she is saved by that family and the people who have always had her back at home, no matter how flawed they are. The story involves class struggle, as well as the struggle of this incredible soldier who is just trying to save everyone from a war she has to keep fighting.
Ancram Center’s Play Lab provides theatre artists of all practices with time, space and resources to develop a new, innovative theater project to be presented in the future at Ancram Center or elsewhere. Selected artists spend a week-long residency in Ancram that culminates with a work-in-progress showing. Throughout the residency, Ancram Center makes efforts to connect the artist with the community in meaningful ways through a combination of interactive workshops, open rehearsals, audience discussions, and more.
