Thank you for visiting my site! I am currently pursuing several projects. In addition to finding a literary agent to promote my new novel, I am also composing the musical score for The Reincarnation of Rembrandt, an exciting new work being produced by Back House Productions, a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in New York. Back House developed In the Heights, which opened on Broadway in February of this year, and has been nominated for a staggering 13 Tony awards! We are raising money to support research and development for this piece. After the 3-month writing and composing phase, just completed in Amsterdam, we will be workshopping the script and score here in San Francisco. While we were in The Netherlands, we also exposed the project to potential Dutch supporters. For more information on this piece and how you can support it, please click the links below. |

The Reincarnation of Rembrandt By Caroline Dream SYNOPSISThe Reincarnation of Rembrandt is a play with music, specifically viola music. The script explores the timelessness of the creative spirit, while the score exposes the gamut of expressive and technical potential of the viola. The cast of 4 includes 1 male and 2 female actors and a violist. The actors move seamlessly from one setting to another and from one character to another, portraying the creative reawakenings of three different artists who live in different time periods and cities, as well as the people closest to these artists as they go through their transformations. The form is derived from the long-form improv structure, the Harold. Each protagonist has two supporting characters; the result is a total of 9 roles played by 3 actors. The viola plays a tenth character, Truth, who sometimes interacts with the actors onstage just like another actor, sometimes comments on the action like an observer. Lucht is a background painter in 1660s Amsterdam; Torto is an American poet living and working in 1930s Amsterdam; and Marijn is a Dutch violist living in San Francisco in the current decade. All three experience first the negative consequences of denying their call to creativity, then the sudden understanding of their true desires, and finally the emotional clarity and renewed relationships that result from their newfound powers. |
