Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre, a professional theater company founded in 1995, is in the process of developing an original musical, "The Neighborhood." Written by Laura Ekstrand, the musical is currently being scored and will be go through a workshop process next year before its official opening in 2013.
"'The Neighborhood' explores the relationships that people have with others in their community, and the way these relationships grow and change over time," said Ekstrand, who serves as the theater's artistic director.
The 75-seat theater, which is located at The Baird on Mead Street, will use the Foundation's grant to offset costs associated with the musical's development, including materials and professional fees for performers and musicians.
"Dreamcatcher is a not-for-profit theater, and we're thankful to have the support and friendship of the Investors Savings Bank Foundation," said Ekstrand. "The generosity of our donors and corporate partners helps bring productions like this one to life."
