Project DayDream’s mission is to educate, entertain, and enrich the lives of children, young adults and their families through the arts.
Tiffany Victoria Sims, Artistic Director, founded Project DayDream in 2002 with the commitment to provide unique performing arts opportunities to families and communities. Her work is inspired by the belief that the arts produce phenomenal impacts within the lives of individuals and communities--leaving behind the most awe-inspiring fingerprints humanity has ever seen.
Sims’ main objective is to encourage individuals to actively use their imagination in order to dream, think, and achieve!
