Like something out of Alice in Wonderland, On-The-Loose Dreams sends listeners young and old alike on an enchanted exploration of that curiously mysterious territory between their ears: the human imagination.

By turns lush and dreamy, hip and hilarious, silly and sublime, On-The-Loose Dreams plays like a great Broadway show performed by the jazziest, snazziest, bluesiest band ever to tumble down a rabbit hole.

The seeds for On-The-Loose Dreams were planted in a musical theater writing workshop at Theatre Building Chicago. Entranced by poet/lyricist Alexander Jenny's sly and subtle "pomes" for children, composers Karena Mendoza and Stephanie Snow undertook to set them to song.

Under the direction of Emmy-winning producer/arranger Ed Tossing, and performed by a winning crew of talented, homegrown young (and not quite so young) singers, each song has a musical style and flavor all its own.

An adventure for ears of all sizes, On-The-Loose Dreams is one of those rare productions that spans generations – suitable for a grade school poetry class or a late-night romp inside your old gray noggin.
