Dreamscape

In 1998, 19-year-old Tyisha Miller was fatally shot by four California police officers while unconscious in her car. In Dreamscape, the brutal reality of her death is powerfully contrasted with the vibrant story of her life. As the Coroner's report recounts each of her twelve bullet wounds in stark clinical detail, the stage fills with memories of Tyisha's joy, resilience and humanity – from dancing and softball games to first love and styling hair. This deeply moving production transforms a devastating true story into a celebration of a young woman whose life was far more than the circumstances of her death.
