I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams "timely, poignant, and artistically satisfying."

This was the most important new work I have ever been a part of. It is important that we tell these stories and use the universal language of music to remind each other that we are human beings.

“Conductor Maria Sensi Sellner navigated the frequent meter changes and sudden interruptions of rhythm with skill and subtly, supporting the constantly evolving dramatic conversations. In a long single-act English-language opera with no real “numbers,” the orchestra became the glue that held together a wide range of styles, rhythms (both classical and Latin), and harmonic worlds.” - L. Pritchard, The Boston Musical Intelligencer

"White Snake Projects’ immigration opera is a timely tale haunted by American dreams. Jacobs’s collaboration with Mexican-born composer Jorge Sosa might be White Snake’s least logistically complex affair to date. It’s also the best." - The Boston Globe

“I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams is a naked and unfiltered look at the problems facing immigrant communities in the United States that many have the privilege to ignore. In this piece, audience members cannot help but to be forced to reflect on their own complacencies. Jorge Sosa and Cerise Lim Jacobs’ collaboration was enormously successful, as their closeness to the subject matter and empathetic nature illuminated the entirety of the work. With such fiercely personal performances, one would be hard-pressed to attend I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams and not feel something new for marginalized populations trying to make a better life for themselves in the United States." - I Care If You Listen

“It’s one thing to hear about the tragedies immigrants face when it’s coming from a stranger you see reporting the news. But when those same things are told to you in such an intimate and personal environment like the one Dreamer creates, they become easier to understand and feel. Dreamer educates its audiences through art, which is, in my opinion, one of the best and most efficient ways to learn about social issues. Dreamer does not scold its audience for being uninformed or ignorant, it instead invites them to learn with the show, recognizing that we all have learning to do." - Abby, member of Boston Children’s Chorus, WSP Activist Blog
