Nora Sorena Casey and director Arthur Makaryan join me to talk about The Censorship of Dreams, a striking new theatrical work arriving at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club. The piece dives deep into the power of dreams—how they shape identity, challenge authority, and reveal truths we often try to suppress. Set against a world where imagination itself feels policed, the story asks what happens when even our inner lives are no longer free. Running May 1–17, the production promises an intimate, thought-provoking experience that blends emotional storytelling with urgent cultural questions.

We get into the creative process behind building this world, how personal and political themes collide in the piece, and why now feels like the exact right moment for a show like this. Nora and Arthur share insight into collaboration, trust, and the vulnerability it takes to put something this honest on stage. It’s a conversation about art as resistance, imagination as survival, and what it really means to protect your voice—even in your dreams.
