Developed in collaboration with the ensemble: Margot Ebling, LeeAnne Hutchison, Paula McGonagle, Grant Neale, Christopher Oden, Andy Paris, and Jill A. Samuels

World premiere: January-February 2005 at the Ohio Theatre, New York City. Developed at Voice and Vision’s ENVISION retreat, the Clark Studio at Lincoln Center, La MaMa ETC. and Pace University/ Drama League Cite Read program.

“Ms. Dickstein artfully draws the audience into a mesmerizing mood piece composed of seamless vignettes . . . . . ravishing moments . . . stunning visuals . . . pure visual entertainment. . . . Dickstein is a maverick illusionist.”
- Phoebe Hoban, The New York Times
