Hamilton Drama Society’s presents its fall show Gossamer by Lois Lowry this weekend. Show dates are Friday November 12th (@ 7pm), Saturday November 13th (@7pm), and Sunday November 14th (@2pm). 

Gossamer’s ethereal and elusive script explores the power of dreams and magic. The play follows a young dream giver named Littlest (Grace Losey) who is under the mentorship of an experienced dream giver named Thin Elderly (Autumn Walentowski). The dreamgivers attempt to heal a child of abuse named John (Cash Campbell) and his new foster caretaker, the Old Woman (Laynee Fry). As John slowly learns to cope with his new surroundings, the dreamgivers learn to aid him in his childhood trauma as he relives the haunting memories of his fathers abuse. But is Littlest strong enough to fight off the nightmares? 

Come see the show this weekend to view this hauntingly beautiful play of dreams.
