Dream Carver is a 45-minute bilingual, musical puppet show based on the children’s book of the same name written by Diana Cohn and illustrated by Amy Cordova.

Dream Carver tells the story of Mateo, a boy growing up in Oaxaca, Mexico whose father has taught him to carve small wooden toys in the traditional way. One day, as Mateo is sitting under a large tree, he dreams of fantastic, brightly colored animals. When he wakes up, he is impelled to bring them to life. Feeling that his father doesn’t support him in his creative endeavor, Mateo secretly sets out to create the animals he saw in his dream.

Through the experiences of the story's hero, Dream Carver encourages young audiences to think creatively, try new things, and follow their dreams.
