A Note from the Artistic Director

Welcome to this weird (but still wonderful) holiday season!
Everything about this season is an experiment and an improvisation for Dreamcatcher,
and this December is no different. We’ve done our first audio play, Ways to be Happy,
produced monthly Flip Side improv shows for YouTube, and now we’ll have our first live
run of a show on Zoom. Holiday Bites is a collaboration with artists we love, both old
and new friends, that we know you will enjoy.
We must say a huge thank you to David Christopher, who has directed many of our
favorite shows at Dreamcatcher (This; Shooting Star; Rapture, Blister, Burn), for co-
producing Holiday Bites. David is an actor and director who understands how difficult
this moment in time is for actors who are struggling to make ends meet and to
preserve the health coverage and pension they receive from Actors’ Equity. So David is
supporting this production to enable us to provide union contracts for our actors.
We at Dreamcatcher hope you also experience similar acts of generosity and kindness
during the holidays, and are so grateful for your participation in our programs.
Peace and love,
