I had the pleasure of seeing Ship of Dreams last night at Indy Eleven Theatre, in the IndyFringe Theatre. The 2022 Fringe show written by Paige Scott, Jason Adams, and Aaron Stillerman is back for a limited time with a cast of Indy’s funniest comedians. Eight friends attempt to cross an ocean of impossibility to stage James Cameron’s cinematic masterpiece “Titanic.” Paige Scott directs this hilarious and creative nostalgia-induced farce as a production of Working-Class Socialite.

The cast includes Elysia Rohn, Hannah Elizabeth Boswell, Tracy Herring, Shelby Myers, Meg McLane, Brittany Magee, Courtney McClure, and Jason Adams. Everyone brings their game and lights up the stage with minimalist theatre. This parody is described as part clown show and part puppet show with the use of cardboard, a projector, and an embarrassingly low budget.

An iconic scene from “Ship of Dreams”

If you love or even liked the movie “Titanic”, you will definitely pick up on all the funny DiCaprio references. My Heart Will Go On is sung extremely well by the cast as the ship takes its last breath. This production contains flashing lights and adult language. It is recommended for audiences age 13 and up.

There are only three more chances to catch this show, April 19th, 20th at 7:30p and the 21st at 5:00p. Located at 719 E. St. Clair Street downtown Indy. For tickets contact the Box Office at 317-210-4639 or email info@indyfringe.org.
