Dreams In The Witch House Rock Opera Mike Dalager has put together an incredible lineup of talent for this kick ass rock opera version of H.P. Lovecraft's "Dreams In the Witch House." Douglas Blair Lucek (W.A.S.P.) lays down solid heavy metal guitar riffs, while Alaine Kashian (Silence: The Musical) and Mike Dalager (Ogham Waite) bring to life the struggles and dichotomy of the sinister but misunderstood Keziah Mason, and the ambitious physics student Walter Gilman. Prepare to have your mind (and maybe your eardrums) blown as they perform selections from the epic "Dreams In The Witch House: A Lovecraftian Rock Opera."
