The Dream Team (A Special "Lantern Celebration" Performance!)

Did you know the theme for this year's iconic Lantern Celebration is "Trail of Dreams"? After the walk up to the Centre of NZ, treat yourself to more dreamlike fun...

The Dream Team is the show of your dreams. Literally. Brendon and Criss are experts on dreams: Brendon has read almost the entirety of the prologue to Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams, and Criss has had several dreams. Now, as the Dream Team, they will use the full power of spontaneously created theatre to investigate, interpret, and -if needed- fix your dreams. This is a show of joyfully improvised chaos, where your dreams can become reality.
The Dream Team will also be joined by improviser and self-declared lifestyle guru, Laura Irish for show-within-a-show: Team Dream, where they will combine your ambitions with their improv to help you achieve your dreams (‘help’ is used in the loosest sense of the word).

Brendon Bennetts and Crisstian Gruber have been pushing the boundaries of improvised comedy with Christchurch’s Court Jesters for a combined total of 20 years. They are joined by local legends Laura Irish and Roger Sanders from The People’s Republic of Improv. Join them all for an early-to-mid summer night’s dream.
