Support Nyad's Dream, A New Queer, Magical Play

Being human is hard. Especially when labels don’t fit. This play gives a voice to the people in between… who often get overlooked and mislabeled.

Nyad's Dream is a magical realist way of navigating queerness, neurodivergence, and invisible disability. At its heart it speaks to the universality of the human condition and the isolation that arises from capitalist culture. This play seeks to give voice to the interdependence of all life and the illness that arises when human life and that of the environment are out of sync.

This premiere production will be running at The Tank in NYC from August 25-27, 2023.
