should believe in their own
power as a human lietng, with
an imagination to dream with,
and to figure out how to make
your dreams come true."
Lozar and Devanzo designed
the set. Company members of
the Mad Duck Repertory helped
build the set and Foster created
the costumes.
Each performance seats at
