Rock Out With AMERICAN IDIOT At DreamWrights

DreamWrights has announced its upcoming production of "American Idiot," the groundbreaking rock musical based on the Grammy Award-winning album by Green Day. The show will run from June 7th to June 16th, 2024, at DreamWrights Center for Community Arts.

"American Idiot" follows the journey of three childhood friends as they navigate the challenges of a post-9/11 world, grappling with issues of love, loss, addiction, and the search for meaning in a chaotic era. Featuring powerful music by Green Day and a compelling book by Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Mayer, the musical captures the raw energy and emotion of the band's iconic album while telling a deeply human story.

"We are incredibly excited to bring 'American Idiot' to our stage," said Melanie Yan, Communication and Admin Coordinator at DreamWrights. "This production is a bold and exhilarating experience that speaks to the heart of our contemporary moment. The talented cast and crew are working tirelessly to bring this powerful story to life, and we can't wait to share it with our community."

In conjunction with the musical, DreamWrights is proud to present **"Synergistic Portals,"** an ethereal display of artworks by visionary artists Brett Greiman and Kym Stine. This thought-provoking exhibition will captivate your imagination and is a must-see addition to your visit.
