DAYDREAMING: Channeling Doris Day
Written by Dennis Bailey & Kathy Morath
Directed by Dennis Bailey
Cast: Kathy Morath & Christopher Stephens

DAYDREAMING, a new musical, chronicles the soul-searching of a successful businesswoman at the crossroads of a particularly quirky midlife crisis: Much to her chagrin and consternation, - she finds she has to channel Doris Day to get through the day. In a session with her psychiatrist, she realizes she has somehow subconsciously patterned her life after the pert actress/singer, managing to capture the outer structure, while entirely missing the beloved star's inner essence - the sunny soul and the happy heart that galvanized legions of diehard fans. A rollicking musical journey through a roadmap of songs made popular by Doris Day results in the quest not only for closure and clarity, but for personal identity as well.
