THE DREAMER'S QUEST

"A non-stop soul train of melodius and rocking rhythm and blues propels The Dreamer's Quest from start to finish...The show closes with everyone - audience included - swinging their hips, clapping their hands and singing."
- Daily News, Kamloops

"Our company (Western Canada Theatre) has needed a show like this for a long time - something everyone could get excited about, that would uplift us all." - theatre company member

"I have been coming to see shows here since the 70s, and this is the best show I've ever seen." - audience member

"This is one of the best shows I've seen - and I just came from Stratford!" - audience member.

"Next - Broadway!" - audience member

Thanks for writing, Andrea. We would love to make a CD, but the costs are unfortunately prohibitive. Glad you liked the show!

What if the universe is trying to send us a message? Could we actually hear it? Do we even want to?
Three young Roman-era adventurers are impelled by a vision to take a perilous quest through the Arabian desert. They lose their guide and end up at a decadent desert oasis controlled by a vicious queen. Will they be caught up in her murderous plans, or will they learn in time the true meaning of the message being sent to them?
