We turned 35 in 2023!!!
As of 2020, Daedream has lived in 5 decades! We are a full theater company housed currently at Mauro-Sheridan Interdistrict Magnet School in the Westville area of New Haven, Connecticut. Now turning 36 this year, the group was founded by Ms. Kim Francis at Lincoln Bassett Community School in 1988, under the administrative leadership of Dr. Verdell Roberts. Our focus is character building through the arts with instruction in dance, theater and vocal performance. We complete a full original musical each year, utilizing the talents of our cast and mentors, ages 5 to 25, in a fun, culminating family-friendly event. Next up: Save the Dates:
