Rorschach Theatre presents a staged reading of AMERICAN DREAM by Trish Cole, part of its MAGIC IN ROUGH SPACES NEW PLAY LAB.

Five high school cheerleaders attempt to navigate purity and over-sexualization as Adam and Eve revisit their origin story and Joan of Arc battles not only the English, but the high school principal, gender roles, and rape culture as well. At the intersection of these stories is Bubbe, an intergalactic prophet and Jewish grandmother, traversing time and space to weave the narratives together, revealing the connections among generations and generations of women, including the women in her own family who left Odessa for America in hopes of finding their own Garden of Paradiseā€¦or, the American Dream.
