Gossamer
Gossamer
"A startlingly beautiful—and faithful—adaptation that promises to evoke smiles, provoke a few tears and inspire audiences to think about bravery, confidence, family and love." —CenterStageChicago.com

"Gossamer is a wonderfully imaginative play … The task is for the newest dream-giver, aptly called Littlest One, to build up the broken-down ego of a boy, John, suffering emotional fallout from an abusive father, all while battling the nightmare-inducing Sinisteeds." —Chicago Critic

"Takes audiences into an imaginary world filled with depth, color and charm." —Montgomery Media, Pa.
Drama. By Lois Lowry. Adapted from her book by the same title.
