I Dream Before I Take the Stand, by Arlene Hutton, is a short one-act (roughly 20 minutes) that is at once an absurdist drama and dream play of sorts. A woman dreams about the upcoming trial of the man who sexually assaulted (and possibly raped) her in the park one not-so-typical morning on her way to work. The piece focuses on the woman's subconscious and begs the question "Is the woman responsible for the attack against her?" and throws a critical eye onto court practices that allow such personal questions as what clothing the woman was wearing to be asked within the courtroom.

A musical act on the various aspects of life when a girl/women has to face the society and its dark face. The musical depicts the significance of inner faith which is extremely important to fight the evils of the society. Writers, Directors and Cast (if possible) - Writer Arelne Hutton.
