Dream Train: A Radio Play

After a sold out run in New Haven, we decided to take "Dream Train" to the airwaves!  It is a poignant, thought provoking musical radio play that can be described as The Polar Express meets A Christmas Carol, with a modern twist.  The show is appropriate for listeners age 5-105!

Dream Train Podcast

"It’s a play that brings forest magic, folky, homespun vocals and an otherwise straight-talking script to life, passing on a powerful moral about walls, xenophobia and environmental preservation."
