Carbondale Dreams
by Steven Sater

"Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, this resourceful tragicomedy builds steadily in intensity as it probes into the lives of a middlewestern family for whom the American Dream has, almost unaccountably, become a nightmare. The play deftly explores the tensions between family togetherness and individual yearnings—and the damaging excesses which too easy affluence can lead to. “This is theatre at its most enjoyable, where nothing jars, and everything conspires to make you think and think again, and feel.” —New York Native. “…a study in deterioration and entrapment that makes a strong statement…” —The New York Times. “…a most satisfying and stimulating evening of theater."
