Waking Dream

Waking Dream is a performance company based in Byram, CT that presents in audience interactive performance art specializing in giant puppetry. Waking Dream performances are spontaneous, unexpected and magical. Waking Dream encourages the audience to join in the performance through use of costumes, props and puppets. Participants are encouraged to learn about what we do and give it a try themselves! They design and construct the puppets for Starwood's Kids Parade and our Bonfire, and will be running the nightly parties and multi-media offerings in the Pufferdome this year.
