American Dreaming: A New Play Festival Theater lovers eager to get in on the ground floor of the next big thing flock to Middlebury Acting Company’s American Dreaming: A New Play Festival. The weekend-long series of staged readings under the tent at Swift House Inn features three brand-spanking-new works: Cowgirl by Justin Aaron Halle, in which a vintage feminist board game derails a wedding on a Wyoming ranch; Until the Day Is Done by Jared Michael Delaney, a heart-wrenching drama about a life-changing diagnosis; and Lessons by Matthew Chong, about a 16-year-old Korean American pianist driven to the brink by a sadistic mentor.
