Dream Train

Dream Train is a thought provoking musical play that can be described as The Polar Express meets A Christmas Carol, with a modern twist. Scout lives in the City and dreams of catching fireflies in the Forest. Honor lives in the Forest and dreams of seeing the City lights up close. The City and the Forest are divided by railroad tracks. The trains no longer run and Honor and Scout have never met. One night the girls are called aboard the Dream Train where they discover they have more in common than they thought.
