Escaping Dreamland is set in early 20th century New York and follows the evolving relationships among three New Yorkers—Magda, A German immigrant determined to challenge traditional gender roles; Tom, a young man of wealth and privilege who spurns his parents’ values; and Gene, a brilliant scientist who struggles to find his identity as a queer man. Together the three write children’s books, becoming a “tremendous trio” of friends and creatives. But secrets and past tragedies tear their friendship apart as they spend a day at the fabulous Dreamland amusement park on Coney Island. From the rubble of their affections, they work to rebuild their relationships in what Cultural Voice of NC called, “[A] heartfelt tale of relationship, creativity, and resilience." FRIGID New York in association with Little Theatre of Winston-Salem present New York Times bestselling author Charlie Lovett’s stage adaptation of his 2022 novel Escaping Dreamland, directed by Janice Lovett.
