SEASON 38 | November 2025
Dora’s Gently Used Dreams Store
November 13-23, 2025
At a time when our collective imagination often feels stifled by division and uncertainty, Dora’s Gently Used Dreams Store invites audiences to step into an alternate reality where dreams can be preserved, exchanged, and even sold. Blurring the lines between art installation and performance, Dora’s world reminds us of the power and fragility of our inner lives and the importance of nurturing imagination as a form of resilience and connection.
Faith Sanders directs Dora’s Gently Used Dreams Store. Allanah Maarteen stars as Dora. Production design by Remy Joslin. Stage management by Jamie Carroll. Bonnie Cullum, Producing Artistic Director. Melissa McKnight, Managing Director.
**Special Note: Dora’s world will be free and open to the public as an after-hours art installation experience for the Austin Studio Tour, November 8-9 and November 15-16 from 5pm - midnight, excluding performance times. During the tour, you’ll have the chance to interact with Dora, connect with the design team, and experience a glimpse of the performance to come.
