The Summer in Gossensass and Molly’s Dream are two topsy-turvy tales that explore sex, fantasy, and feminine desire all while towing a fine line of surrealism and reality.
From the intimate Victorian parlor of a spoofed Hedda Gabler to a Wild West bar of dreamy Fabio’s, karaoke, and a tap dancing Shirley Temple character, both The Summer in Gossensass and Molly’s Dream create a peculiar and surprising space that invites audiences to laugh loudly and dream daringly.
