God as a toymaker, Satan as a hater—this fever dream musical commits to the bit completely.
Toymaker's Dream is a vibrant, high-energy theatrical presentation that retells the biblical narrative of creation, the fall of man, and redemption through the life and death of Jesus Christ. The story is presented as a fantasy allegory, portraying God as the "Toymaker," humanity as his beloved "toys" living in "Dreamland," and Satan as the "Dream Hater" who incites rebellion against the Toymaker.

Production
Theatrical staging commits harder than budget suggests possible.
Acting
Tom Newman as Toymaker's Son sells emotional beats surprisingly well.
Director
Steve D'Annolfo
