Act I: Ixion dreams under the open air
Are you dreaming about seeing live theater again? Then put on your mask and head outdoors to Delta Township’s Sharp Park and catch the second weekend of Ixion’s collection of short plays on the subject of “Dreams.”

● “Goodmares” by Ron Burch, directed by Sara Frank-Hepfer
● “Scream” by George Sapio, directed by Judith Evans
