Mary's Dream
As modern troubadours, Spear Ensemble becomes Mary's Dream
Theatre. A TROUPE of actor, acrobat, dancer, musician & poet
clowns tackle the topic of transcendence, as they tell the Tale of
Mary: in the forest, upon a bed - legs of live trees grow toward
heaven - a girl awaits various soul mates, she chooses penitence
over consummation.
Temptations do arise…
Based on personal experience and myth, Mary’s Dream explores
transcendence found on a journey through (any denomination of)
hell. Dance, physical Theater, Acrobatics, clowning, live music with
vocal harmonies, poetry & narrative, guide us through several
interlocking stories of tragedy and victory.

Spear Ensemble...
-brings original and adapted works to the stages of the San Francisco Bay
Area. With aspirations beyond the parochial, Spear is an ensemble who
takes a physical approach to theatre. They tell stories through music,
literature, dances of everyday movement, acrobatics, staged combat and
masks.
It is their interest to evoke community consciousness, through provocative
spectacle, by igniting a fresh light to the familiar.
