Dreamcatcher Jr: TOUCH THE SKY

TOUCH THE SKY is a musical revue for young audiences and their grown-ups. A talented cast of kids from 8 to 12 years old will perform a new revue of stories and songs written by John Farrell. Songwriter and storyteller Farrell is an international performer and educator whose songs capture the joy and struggles of childhood, from comedic songs like “I’d Like To Be A Duck For A Day” and “I Wish I Hadn’t Done That”, to ballads like “A Good Night Wish”.

About Dreamcatcher Junior

TOUCH THE SKY is the third annual production of Dreamcatcher Junior. One of the hallmarks of the program is that the show is always directed by theatre professionals, but is staffed by and cast with students from elementary school through college.
