The American Theatre of Actors revives DREAM ON, BARANSKY! a surreal, [quasi] musical comedy to brighten your holiday season. December 5 — 22nd in the iconic Cullum Theater of ATA’s complex.
This reality-bending story explores themes of love, fidelity, mental health, and more. We follow the main character, Jonathan Baranski, as he searches for relief from his anxiety-inducing love life. Baranski isn’t just caught in a love triangle; it’s more of a square… or maybe a pentagon!
This maze of a show is written by Rich Baron with music & lyrics by Dale Baron. The duo has presented their show at the ATA previously, hailing audience praise and securing their second three-week run!
Director Luana Seu brings a fresh vision to the show, tactfully delivering wistful dream scenes in tandem with poignant and relatable moments based in reality.

Simultaneously involved with two women—feisty, single Lyla and strong-willed, married Suzie —Jonathan Baransky, despite an occasional anxiety attack, is navigating life with relative ease. Enter Jennifer, an old flame, laser focused on re-kindling their relationship. Suddenly, Jonathan finds himself overwhelmed by extreme stress. At the insistence of his psychiatrist, the zany Dr. Smithson, Jonathan undergoes a series of highly experimental, anti-anxiety treatments—“transported” into dream-like states, he encounters a cast of thought-provoking characters and an array of revelatory songs. Walking the tightrope between his complicated love life and a nerve-wracking fantasy world, Jonathan desperately seeks a lasting cure for his anxiety. Dream on, Baransky, dream on!
The DREAM starts December 5
