Dare to Dream is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to giving youth and their families opportunities to learn, play, discover and grow through theatre. Programs are designed by formally trained and educated theater professionals to create nurturing opportunities for personal growth and stimulate creative thinking. Here, all children are equal and free to explore. There are no wrong answers, or unhealthy competition. Only the chance to explore imagination, exercise creativity, and discover a little more about oneself and the world around.
Dare to Dream offers a safe and caring environment for all children, whether healthy or at-risk, socially adept or challenged, to develop their imagination and creativity by learning fun theatre skills, making new friends and working together to perform for family and friends.
A child’s dreams are the foundation of her or his future life. We invite you to help the children of our community to dare to dream.
Please help more children realize the dreamers within themselves. Donate online at www.DareToDreamTheatre.org or mail your check to Dare to Dream Theatre, P.O. Box 482, Sheboygan, WI 53082-0482
Today we invite you into the fanciest of worlds - the world of imagination and theatre. Here everyone has the ability to try on different roles and - no matter what - find a place to belong.
When I was a young performer, I discovered that theatre was my place to belong - even though I wasn’t always onstage in the role I thought I wanted. But - just like Nancy does in the show - I found a way to make my role “fancy” and learned that theatre is about so much more than being in the spotlight. Now -so many years later - I get to pass that joy onto so many amazing young performers.
My favorite thing about theatre is watching these young people (and their grown ups) learn to work together, explore their interests, try something new, and discover amazing things can happen when everyone finds their place - whether it be in the spotlight or supporting behind the scenes.
With this show, I have had the pleasure to guide two casts of young performers through the process and am incredibly proud of all of them! It takes alot of work to create the magic of theatre - but when it all comes together, the magic is incredible. So, whether you are seeing the Pink or Purple cast perform today, I know you will enjoy this sweet glimpse into the lessons Nancy learns as she tries to find a way to make what she thinks will be dull and ordinary into something fancy.
We especially welcome our young audience members (and their parents) for which this production is their first experience with live theatre. We are thrilled that you have chosen to make “Fancy Nancy - The Musical” your first and hope you join us for many more shows in the future, perhaps someday we’ll see some of you up on the stage as part of the cast or crew!
If you enjoy what you see today, we invite you to join us! Check out our website to find out how you can become involved, onstage, offstage, in a class or workshop, or as a sponsor or donor.
We hope you will share your experience with your friends and family after the production and look forward to seeing you again soon!
